ALBANY>> VENT Fitness is offering an Extreme Gym Makeover to one local community organization in the Capital Region.  As part of a tradition of community involvement, sustainability and commitment to health, VENT will provide equipment such as stair climbers, treadmills, stationary bikes, elliptical machines and other pieces of equipment to a local organization (including charities, not-for-profits and schools).

VENT Fitness is proud to present the Extreme Gym Makeover project.  VENT is fulfilling its commitment to sustainability by donating its available club-quality, industry-leading fitness equipment to one local community organization.  The project will also provide non-structural renovations and facility improvements (including painting, flooring, etc.) to the chosen organization’s fitness area.  If the organization does not presently have a fitness area, VENT and partners will create one in an area or space that is unused. 

VENT Fitness President Bill Lia, Jr. said, “Schools, charities and non-profits are a vital part of our community.  Helping to improve the health and wellness of the people served by community organizations just makes sense on every level.”

Those wishing to nominate an organization for the Extreme Gym Makeover should visit www.extremegymmakeover.com to apply.  Applicants may include photos, videos, an essay and anything else that might help illustrate the need for a makeover. Nominations are now open and will be accepted through 11:59pm EST on December 7, 2014.  One organization will be chosen to receive the Extreme Gym Makeover on Monday, December 22, 2014.  The makeover is expected to occur in early 2015.

Facility improvements and non-structural renovations are to be provided by The Pike Company and other partners.
