Michael Lipowski, the founder and owner of PURE PHYSIQUE says Train The Trainer is always “Not only a huge success, but very entertaining as our members [get] the opportunity to play the role of personal trainer and do to us what we’re usually doing to them.”

Over the past three years, Train The Trainer has raised close to $9,000, all of which has been donated to Hope For The Warriors® program, “A Warrior’s Wish.”

“The energy and excitement of everyone last year was incredibly inspiring,” says Beth Colucci, one of PURE PHYSIQUE’s trainers, and Train The Trainer’s Event Manager. “We are so excited for this year’s event, and look forward to providing hope and relief to our much-deserving veterans.”

Highlights of Train The Trainer include trainers being trained by their own clients, client-trainer face-offs, and exciting raffle and silent auction items!

Train The Trainer raises funds for “A Warrior’s Wish” in order to provide a veteran with the equipment he or she needs to continue in their post-recovery fitness. Over the past three years, funds have been raised for kayaks, bicycles, treadmills, and supporting equipment.
