In 2019, BE Strong Fitness & Yoga took over the Panther Prowl from the Greater Monticello Foundation. 🏃🐾

We carried on their tradition of donating all proceeds back to local organizations, and donated nearly $28,000 over the course of 7 years. 👏🏻👏🏻

We could not have done it without all of our incredible sponsors, participants and volunteers, especially our co-sponsor each year, Dr. Michael Weston and UnityPoint Clinic - Monticello.

If you haven’t noticed, we have decided to forgo the 2026 Panther Prowl. Instead, we put our efforts toward supporting the Great Jones County Fair 5K.

We may be back next year, or we would be happy to assist any local organizations interested in taking over the 5K.

Thanks again to everyone who made this event successful! ❤️🙏🏻

I took over the gym when I was pregnant with Will. To this day he is and will always be my #1 fan. Love him so much!

We ran a survey last week asking our early morning risers their ideal time to work out in the morning. The suggested times were starting at 5 AM, 5:15 AM, 5:30 AM 5:45 AM, or 6 AM, working out for 45 minutes. ⏰

Not surprisingly the answers were across the board.

We have held classes for nearly 10 years and one of the biggest struggles is finding a class time that works best for people.

So we decided to try something new‼️

“There’s substantial research supporting the benefits of strength training and the reasons to try circuit training, in particular. One study, published in the Biology journal, concluded that resistance circuit-based training greatly increases muscle mass and upper and lower strength. In addition, it advances cardiorespiratory fitness, aerobic performance and maximum aerobic speed or power.”
