Elmhurst Gym Instructors Go for Guinness World Record

ELMHURST, IL - Nick Janowitz, owner of Patriot Sports and Fitness in Elmhurst, and Jeremy Miller, a trainer at the gym, will try to break the Guinness World Record for the most pull-ups in 12 and 24 hours.

Currently, the record is over 7,000 pull-ups.

Janowitz and Miller will attempt to break the record starting at 7 p.m. April 28 at Elmhurst City Center.

Previously, the gym has attempted to break the record for the most burpees in 24 hours, and Janowitz did over 10,000 burpees.

The proceeds from this event will go to Pull-Up Bars for Patriots, which is a local charity that puts up pull-up bar memorials to honor fallen service members, and also encourage physical fitness.
