Youngstown Ohio — The YMCA of Youngstown is excited to announce that we will be hosting a special, 12 Rounds circuit training fitness event to raise funds to impact the lives of kids, teens, and families in our community.
Engaging people from all walks of life, participants will take part in a high-energy dynamic circuit training event, a special version of Youngstown’s own Clemate Franklin’s 12 Rounds class. “I am excited to see my 12 rounds class expand to include this meaningful event. It’s about unity and community.” Franklin says.
12 Rounds is a total body workout focusing on agility, flexibility, speed, hand-eye coordination, power, and resistance. The event will include stations such as hill climb, battle ropes, tire flips, boxing, yoga stretch, and more. Designed for all fitness levels, modifications will be available and encouraged.
Event coordinator, Meri Fetkovich says, “We are fighting for a healthier spirit, mind, and body through friendship, achievement, and belonging.” She encourages everyone to invite family and friends to participate, or donate to, this one-of-a-kind event. With an event goal of $20,000, individuals will be raising funds to participate.
