Strength snack inspo :: weighted lower body workout 🍑

You already know the feeling during a weighted walk—hips working, endurance building, glutes on fire. That’s load doing its job.

Now stack circuits on top of it. Step-ups, single-leg work, lunges, squats—all wearing the vest that’s already reshaping how your lower body moves. The walk builds the base. The programming compounds it.

This is where the results start showing up—stronger stride, powerful stairs, a toosh you’re proud to work for.

Start around 5-10% of bodyweight. Balance moves get spicy fast under load—wobble means drop the weight, not the form.

Tag us in your weighted workouts. Show us those legs and glutes putting in work. 💪

Pockets for your phone.

Pockets for your cards.

Pockets for your gloss.

A pocket to even hold a water bladder.

Chicago, let’s get weighted. 💪

Join The Carry | Weighted Vests for Women and COMMONLANGUAGE for a summer morning of rhythm, strength, and community in Wicker Park.

We’ll start in studio where you can meet the founders and try on The Carry weighted vest for size. Then a 50-minute weighted sculpt class at Common Language by Samantha, followed by a 2.5-mile walk along The 606 by Cortney & Esther.

Come for the class, the walk, or both—and experience weighted movement made for women’s bodies.

Plus, we’ll be fueled and refreshed by:

DRINK WAAY — sparkling protein water
WASHWISE — dry shampoo for clothing
N-2water Mineral-First Hydration — mineral-first hydration
Rootless 🪸Daily Hormone Nourishment — daily seaweed bites

Friday, July 24
Wicker Park, Chicago
Class begins at 8:45 AM
The 606 walk begins at 10:10 AM

Studio space is limited, but the walk is open to all.

RSVP through the Luma link in bio. Chicago, come move with us.

Get in ladies, we’re building strength & doing hard things 💪

Our IRL community events and meetups are picking up! A format we’ve been following for the last year and a half since having hand sewn prototypes of our weighted vest:

- a meeting space for try ons
- a guided walk anywhere between 2-3 miles
- a 10-20min strength snack leaving you with one full body workout
- vest not necessary but highly encouraged

We say we’re the best weighted vest on the market for women because of our three size options and the ability to progressively overload (add weight as you get stronger)… amongst comfort, washability, versatility and style.

All remaining preorders are being shipped out this week which means The Carry Vest is ready to order for anyone new wanting in the club.

Grab your bestie, come be our vestie.

Walking, shopping & matcha… what could be better?

Thank you to everyone who came out to Wavekelly yesterday. We loved meeting you, having you try on The Carry Weighted Vest, and leading you through a workout we’re pretty sure you’re feeling today.

Big thanks to Vale Matcha & Coffee for providing the most delicious matcha on tap outside the shop!

If you couldn’t make it, you can still try on The Carry Weighted Vest in store at Wavekelly through Sunday!
