This past weekend, Fitness Worx Rugby was proud to host a fantastic charity event in support of The Our Jay Foundation. It was an incredible day filled with energy, competition, and community spirit – all coming together to raise money for a very important cause.
A Day of Fitness and Community
The event featured a HYROX competitin, giving athletes the opportunity to test their endurance, strength, and determination throughout the day. Members and visitors pushed themselves through a series of tough but rewarding workouts, creating an electric atmosphere in the gym.
Alongside the Hyrox challenge, we also ran a deadlift competition, which brought out some impressive strength performances from competitors.
After some incredible lifts, the winners of the deadlift competition were:
🏆 Declan Challoner
🏆 Sophie Henry
Both athletes showed outstanding strength and effort, earning well-deserved victories.
Support from the Fitness Community
The event also welcomed a GASP meet-up, bringing together athletes from the community to train, compete, and support the charity event. It was great to see so many passionate fitness enthusiasts coming together under one roof.
Representatives from Better Bodies were also present, helping support the day and connect with members of the fitness community.
To add even more excitement to the competition, GASP generously donated a £250 gift card to the winners, making the day even more rewarding for those who took part.
Raising Money for a Great Cause
Away from the competition floor, there were plenty of ways for people to contribute to the charity effort. We hosted a bake sale and raffle, both of which were hugely popular throughout the day.
Thanks to the generosity of everyone involved, the event raised over £600 for The Our Jay Foundation, which will go toward supporting the amazing work they do.
A Message from Rugby Gym Manager Beth
Beth, the Gym Manager at Fitness Worx Rugby, shared her thanks to everyone who helped make the event such a success:
“A huge thank you to everyone who came down to support the Our Jay charity event. The turnout, the atmosphere, and the generosity shown by our members and local community were incredible. Events like this show what the Fitness Worx community is all about — people coming together to support each other and raise money for a fantastic cause. We’re so proud to have hosted it here at Rugby.”
Thank You to Everyone Involved
From the athletes who competed, to the people who baked, donated raffle prizes, or simply came along to support — thank you.
Events like this highlight the strength of the Fitness Worx community and how fitness can bring people together for something bigger than just training.
We look forward to hosting many more events like this in the future.
