Ellipse Fitness Makes the News!
Sweatin' for A Cause
03/17/2007
On Saturday, March 17 the First Annual Victory Over Violence fitness marathon was held at Ellipse Fitness. (1200 Mayflower Drive, right outside of Greenville) Victory Over Violence is a yearly event, held at all Ellipse locations, to raise money for domestic abuse. This year there were 2 4-hour timeslots to choose from. Loyal participants exercised for the 4-hour period doing regular Ellipse workouts consisting of bootcamp, kickboxing and muscle sculpting exercises. Each of the 26 members raised money by asking people to sponsor their workout. The day was high energy, sweaty and worth the effort! The event raised a whopping $7192 for Harbor House. Lisa Welko, co-owner of Ellipse Fitness said, "The recipients of this donation will feel it's benefits long after our muscle soreness and fatigue have subsided." The money was presented on Thursday, April 5 to a sincerely appreciative Harbor House staff. "Can't wait until next year!" Welko said.
