FitWorx Donates 400 Pounds of Food to Greater Boston Food Bank

FitWorx is the "non-gym" solution for a healthy lifestyle and weight loss.

FitWorx' first annual Holiday Food Drive was a success. A total of 400 pounds of food was collected at their Easton, Pembroke, West Roxbury and Weymouth club locations and donated to the Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB), which serves many of the local food pantries across Eastern Massachusetts.

FitWorx, the "non-gym" solution for a healthy lifestyle and weight loss, delivered boxes full of canned goods and other shelf stable items to the GBFB.

"According to the GBFB, one in 10 people in Eastern Massachusetts struggles with hunger. We'd like to thank our members, staff and the community for participating in our food drive to help as many families as possible who are suffering from food insecurity," explained Rick Langella, founder of FitWorx.
