Celebrating Freedom and Togetherness: Juneteenth Weekend with Werk Fitness!
Greetings wonderful community!
As Juneteenth approaches, let’s take a moment to reflect on its significance. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, marks the day in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans were informed of their freedom, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This day is not just a reminder of freedom from physical bondage, but also an inspiration to work towards freedom in our minds and bodies. This Juneteenth, let us come together as a community to honor the past, celebrate the present, and foster a healthier future. Werk Fitness is thrilled to announce a weekend-long series of activities starting June 17th to embrace wellness and togetherness. 🎉
Day 1: Saturday, June 17th - Embrace Your Strength 💪
9:00 AM - Juneteenth Bootcamp
Location: Werk Fitness Gym
Our bootcamp class is designed to help you unearth the strength that lies within you. This vigorous workout will not only help you build physical strength but also empower your spirit. As we sweat and toil, let’s remember the struggles of those who came before us and honor their courage and resilience.
Day 2: Sunday, June 18th - Run for Freedom 🏃♀️🏃♂️
9:00 AM - Freedom Run at Freedom Park
Location: Freedom Park
There couldn’t be a more fitting way to celebrate Juneteenth than a run through Freedom Park! This symbolic run is not just for fitness; it is a run for freedom, equality, and unity. As you feel the ground beneath your feet and the wind in your hair, envision a world where freedom and justice are not just words but a reality for all.
