Anytime Fitness in Ankeny's Prairie Trail development to host charity event

24-hour co-ed fitness club organizes 24-hour cardio event to raise money for the Special Olympics of Iowa on November 5, 2014.

Anytime Fitness, the 24-hour co-ed fitness club in southwest Ankeny’s Prairie Trail development, is organizing a unique event to celebrate their third anniversary of business. Beginning at midnight on Wednesday, November 5 members of the club will operate three cardio pieces for a full 24-hour period. Anytime Fitness will make a donation to the Special Olympics of Iowa for each person who participates as well as for each mile logged.

“The goal of this event is to celebrate the anniversary of our business by giving back to the community we serve,” said Tiffany Christensen, owner of the Anytime Fitness and organizer of the event. “By engaging our members in a cardio challenge, we show our united concern for the community that supports us. The importance of giving back is vital, and it is rewarding to make a difference.”

Members of the club and community can participate in the event by reserving an hour to operate a treadmill, elliptical or recumbent bike. Reservations can be made by calling the club at 515.965.4246 or visiting the club in person. The cardio event will take place November 5, 2014.
