Supporting a New Charity Every Month
We’ve always considered Castle Hill Fitness to be more than just a gym. We strive to foster a community that celebrates a person’s individual journey towards a higher quality of life. We value the health of our overall community – beyond just our fitness family – as much as each individual’s! To that end, every month, Castle Hill Fitness hosts virtual donation classes in support of a rotating charity.
On the 22nd of every month, our weekly live-stream class schedule features various donation-based classes. This way, you can get your workout on AND support an organization striving for positive change, all in one fell swoop! Since June, 2020, we have successfully raised funds to support these chosen charities every month, thanks to YOUR help.
