Hello Friends of Union Fitness!
This past weekend we hosted our fourth annual Push/Pull fundraiser competition. It was a huge success, and we were able to see some awesome lifts from all our participants. There were some lifters who had participated in powerlifting meets or the push/pull in the past, and there were some who had never stepped up on a platform before. It is always so great to see everyone try their hardest to crush some PR’s and celebrate even the small wins. We also raised a little over $500 to donate to HEARTH. An organization that provides a range of supportive services and housing that empowers homeless families, who are survivors of domestic violence or other trauma to become independent, self-sufficient, and adequately housed; to foster housing opportunities to prevent homelessness and encourage safe, affordable housing.
I would like to take a moment to say thank you to every individual who helped us out that morning, and put their best effort forward.
CJ – thank you for killing it on the mic and for keeping the morning flowing.
Jen – thank you for being an amazing judge and helping select bench rack heights for all of the lifters.
Jared – thank you for also being an amazing judge and helping with weigh ins for the gentlemen.
Ward & Dahveed – thank you both for the stellar spotting job throughout the morning. You guys were sweating the most out of everyone from working so hard.
Ava – thank you for being an amazing photographer, we appreciate all of the hard work you put in.
Sandhya – thank you for keeping me in line and ensuring all the flights and lifts were recorded correctly. Also, for being a great videographer.
For those of you who competed, we are all very proud of how far you’ve come in your training and are excited to continue to watch your progress. Congratulations on competing in either your first push/pull or your second/third/fourth. Looking forward to next year!
