Become a 2022 Host Gym

Become a Host Gym

And bring your fitness community together to raise funds and awareness for Veterans & First Responders living with OSI.

Join gyms from across Canada in hosting this year’s 24 Hours of Heroes event!

While this has run as an in-person 24 hour event in past years (2016-2019), the pandemic forced us to make some adjustments. It’s currently a virtual (Zoom) / in-person (at Host Gyms) format with 2 days of 4 hero workouts per day. While it’s less workouts than our original format, we have been absolutely THRILLED to be able to connect with gyms and athletes from across Canada this way - and raise even more funds! Last year we raised over $70,000 for Wounded Warriors Canada, and our goal this year is to raise over $80,000.

Here is the event format:

  • Saturday, November 12 = 4 Hero workouts* (10:00am, 11:15am, 12:30pm, 1:45pm EST)

  • Sunday, November 13 = 4 Hero workouts* (10:00am, 11:15am, 12:30pm, 1:45pm EST)

  • Athletes can participate individually over Zoom alongside the community, OR

  • Athletes can join in-person at a “host” gym

As a host gym, you would:

  • Host the workouts at your gym. You may choose to host one or both days. Typically host gyms just run these workouts like a regular class, with the exception of having Zoom logged on / open so that the larger community can see all of the host gyms participating and cheer each other one from afar :) Ultimately though, we’re happy to have you involved however makes sense for you and your gym.

  • Invite members to sign up, fundraise for your gym’s team and join in on one, or a few, of the hero workouts.

  • Come together as a fitness community to sweat, have some fun, and support Wounded Warriors Canada.

  • BONUS: The top fundraising gym(s) will receive special sponsorship prizes!
