Chicago Story Walk
Stories that go where you go. In partnership with Apple Books, Reese’s Book Club is bringing Story Walk, our walking audiobook club, to Chicago on Saturday, June 13th.
Join us for a guided 50-minute walk led by Apple Fitness+ trainers, Anja Garcia and Sherica Holmon, as we listen together to a Reese’s Book Club Pick on Apple Books. It’s book club with fresh air, good company, and a story unfolding in your ears, so don't forget your headphones! After the walk, meet the author behind the book for a special conversation about the inspiration, characters, and plot that kept us listening.
Register with your email to attend the event and receive a redemption code for a free audiobook from Reese's Book Club on Apple Books. We will only use your email to send you event reminders and a redemption code for the audiobook. The free audiobook is non-transferrable. Terms apply.

APPLE FITNESS+ TRAINERS
Anja Garcia (@anjagarcia)
Anja says her fitness superpower is discipline. A busy mom and pediatric nurse in an intensive care unit, she has an inspiring ability to coach with authority, vitality, and compassion. She has more than 15 years of experience teaching workouts in gyms and online, and creates drama in her workouts by mapping intervals around big music drops. A former elite-level gymnast, Anja still does a mean backflip.
Sherica Holmon (@sherica_holmon)
Sherica went from running track in college to cruising through 5Ks on the beach. But she loves hopping on a bike just as much. She has taught packed classes at leading cycling studios and built an online community inspired by living to your full potential. Her musical preferences cross multiple decades and genres from classic funk to dance remixes. Proving a readiness to step outside her comfort zone, she tried ziplining, learned to surf, and ran her first marathon all in one year.
