NORWICH – Since Aim Fitness opened in December of 2007, owner Eric Montalvo said the community has been extremely supportive, and on Sunday, the business wants to do something as a way of giving back some of that support.

From 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on July 26, Aim Fitness will hold the first Family Fitness Day for charity. Throughout the day, the gym will host activities including: a 22.4 mile bike tour, a five K run / walk and a Body Combat launch class at Weiler Park. “We wanted to think of something we could do to give back to the community that has welcomed us with open arms,” Montalvo said. The bike tour will begin at 8:30 a.m. At 9:45, the five K run / walk will begin. Medals will be awarded to the top three male and female participants, and the first place winners will receive a new pair of sneakers, courtesy of McLauglin’s and New Balance. At 10:45, the Body Combat launch class will begin in Weiler Park.

All proceeds from the event will be split evenly between Catholic Charities’ Roots and Wings program and the Chenango County SPCA.

In addition to the three main events taking place during the day, Aim will also be hosting a tug of war competition. Individuals or teams of 15 people can sign up for the contest, at a cost of $5 each.
