Fitness International Hosts "Feeding America Day" to Combat Hunger

On December 7, 2024, Fitness International, LLC, the parent company of LA Fitness and Club Studio, is partnering with Feeding America to tackle hunger across the nation. This initiative aims to raise substantial funds for families in need by engaging fitness enthusiasts in a day of giving while participating in fitness classes at local gyms.

Fitness International has set a lofty goal of generating $150,000 to provide at least 9.6 million meals for those facing food insecurity by the end of the year. Members participating in any fitness class on these special days will contribute to this cause, as the company has pledged to donate $1 for every individual who takes part. Additionally, Fitness International will match the total amount raised, amplifying the impact of collective efforts.

How You Can Help

Members of LA Fitness and Club Studio are encouraged to join in the fun and give back on both December 7 at Club Studio and December 14 at LA Fitness locations across the country. The participation not only fosters community spirit but provides essential support to local food banks. With every dollar contributed, Feeding America can provide around 10 meals to individuals and families grappling with food shortages.

“We deeply care about our local communities, and we recognize the importance of our mission to promote health and fitness,” said Jill Greuling, President of Club Operations. “Our collaboration with Feeding America aligns perfectly with our commitment to enhancing the quality of life for our members and beyond.”

Throughout the year, Fitness International has developed several initiatives, including special fitness classes and community events that create opportunities for donations. Their commitment doesn't stop at just one event; Fitness International has pledged to match employee contributions up to $75,000, ensuring that all donations are channeled to local food banks specific to the contributing donor’s zip code.

Feeding America, as the largest hunger-relief organization in the United States, plays a pivotal role in assisting the 34 million Americans facing food insecurity, which includes a significant number of working families, children, and elderly individuals.
