We had the good fortune of connecting with Philly Weeden and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Philly, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I noticed that the topic we were interested in discussing wasn’t included in the conversation. Perhaps we could reframe it to focus on “how the tour began.”

The Charg’d Up tour was born from a surge of excitement and inspiration among participants in the class. As individuals engaged with the innovative concept and dynamic structure, their enthusiasm sparked a fire that ignited the journey ahead. The palpable energy and eagerness among the attendees set the stage for a remarkable adventure, paving the way for the tour’s inception.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
What sets me apart is that my classes are more than just workouts — they’re experiences filled with high energy, great music, and community. I’m proud of creating a space where people feel free, confident, and excited to move, no matter their fitness level.

Getting here wasn’t easy. I faced doubts, Covid, etc. But I kept going, stayed authentic, and trusted that my passion would make room for me.

I’ve learned that consistency and genuine connection are everything. I want the world to know that Charg’d Up is about joy, resilience, and helping people feel alive and empowered, one class at a time.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
