Lift for Lana at Ageless Squared in Staunton December 14th

“Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one” – Bruce Lee

There is not a disease known to man that paints a more definitive distinction between health and sickness than cancer. If you’ve been fortunate enough not be affected by it, one look at these pictures will clearly illustrate its unapologetic consequences.

Although we often run contests and events at the gym as fundraisers for local organizations, rarely will we run one for an individual. There are just too many people out there who are sick and suffering. It would be  too hard to pick just a select few.  In that regard, I do not envy Pete and Fight the Fight.

However, Lana is an exception(al). We don’t view her as a person, much like we don’t view Ageless as a business. She’s bigger than that. With as many lives as she has touched over the years in not just our BenGil community but also the Staunton community, one would assume a single person could not be capable of such a spectacular feat.  Then again teachers are often underestimated and under-appreciated.

So don’t believe for a second that our Lift for Lana benefit is specifically for her.  It’s not. It’s for our very own selfish reasons. Where would small communities like ours be without people like her? Imagine what it would be like if we didn’t have teachers like her? Is that community you would want to live in? Me neither.  The BenGil and Staunton communities need Lana.  Our school needs Lana. Most importantly, you and I need Lana. This benefit isn’t for her. It’s for all of us because it’s people like her that make small communities so special.

Lift for Lana Details

On Saturday, December 14th, we will have our official grand opening for Ageless Squared in Staunton. From 8am – 6pm, we will be running our Lift for Lana benefit. Anyone, members and non-members, can show up and use out facility. We’ll be offering all of our classes all day (bootcamp, spinning, Piloxing, and GloKick) and you’ll also have access to all of our equipment. It will be the perfect opportunity to get a taste of Ageless Squared. All we ask is you donate $5 to use the gym if you’re a non-member. That $5 will go to Lana. If you’re a member, we’ll take $5 out of your monthly membership and donate it to Lana. So if you’re not busy Saturday, stop by and get your lift on.
