Big news for our gym community! 🏋️‍♂️🏈

This Saturday, we’re hosting a Liftathon right here at Break Ground Fitness to raise money for Bacon Academy Football! The festivities begin at 11:00am.

Over the summer, Bryan has been writing their strength and conditioning program. The athletes have been putting in work—tackling new movements, dynamic rep ranges, and targeted percentage work to build real strength and resilience for this upcoming season.

The Liftathon is their chance to put that hard work to the test and raise funds for their team! They’ll be testing their 1-Rep Maxes across the Big 3 (Bench, Back Squat, and Deadlift). As with all our youth lifting programs, maxes are judged relative to body weight—encouraging smart and safe progress that builds true functional strength.

We are so proud of these athletes and would love to have our gym family and coaches there to cheer them on! If you’re free this Saturday, come down, bring the energy, and support BA Football!

Hope to see you there! 💪🔥 bacon_academy_football

25 challengers. 3 months of hard work. 1 incredible community.

Right before Murph, we wrapped up our first-ever Break Ground Fitness Challenge! Unlike past challenges, everyone set their own goals, followed a custom plan, and put in the work.

Shoutout to everyone who woke up early every Saturday at 7 AM to network and train. You earned those exclusive BGF tees and the very first photo under our new sign!

Bryan and I are so incredibly proud. Congratulations, team! 🫶
