Women's Self-Defense Workshop (April 2019)

For 2019's SAAM (Sexual Assault Awareness Month) Day of Action, TruFit Personal Training Studios is hosting a special event-- Lady Bosses Don't Back Down: A Self-Defense Workshop for Women and Businesswomen.

Join us to learn female-focused self-defense techniques (incl. boundary setting, situational awareness, and striking). No experience necessary. Ok for all fitness levels. Event proceeds will benefit the YWCA Evanston/North Shore.
