Benchmark Fitness' Outdoor Trivia Workout Oct. 3 to support nonprofits

After the success of their grand opening, Benchmark Fitness, Crystal Lake's newest fitness center, is welcoming the community to an outdoor trivia workout event to support nonprofits at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 3.

Benchmark Fitness' Outdoor Trivia Workout invites attendees to form a team of two to four people for a socially-distanced group fitness class. Along with a fun, challenging session that combines elements of HIIT and strength training, teams will battle it out through fitness-related trivia questions for a chance to win!

The top two teams will receive free T-shirts and one of the following: one month of group training for each participant; two personal training sessions per person; or three small-group fitness classes (in-person or virtual).

Each participant has the opportunity to submit the name of a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization they'd like to support. At the end of the workout, one of the submitted charities will be drawn at random to receive 100% of the profits from the event.

"We wanted to do this event as a way to engage people in fun, health-centered activities that also support local nonprofit organizations," says Benchmark Fitness co-owner Danny Miller. "We feel that as a local business, it's always important to give back to the community."

Join the fun on Saturday, Oct. 3 at 10:30 a.m. at Benchmark Fitness, 975 Nimco Drive, Unit G in Crystal Lake.

This event is open to all ages and fitness levels, and membership at Benchmark Fitness is not required. The cost to participate is $25 and guests can pay at the event with cash or a check.

To sign up, email your team name and the names of your team members to BenchmarkFitnessCL@gmail.com.

Benchmark Fitness will be supplying an outdoor rubber mat and a set of dumbbells for every participant to use, though you are encouraged to bring extra dumbbells if you'd like a challenge!
