Cancer, the food pantry, the animal shelter. All charities benefitted by the Community Outreach program. Anytime Fitness, a local gym, has been striving to do good in the community while losing weight.

Michelle Oubre, founder of Community Outreach, spoke on the purpose and why they started in the first place. She said Anytime Fitness is a family and part of the community and so of course they would want to give back to that community.

Chandra Gaudet, a member of the gym and participant in Community Outreach, said that she participates so she can help out charities and causes she believes in while striving for fitness. They have plenty of upcoming events should you want to get involved.

The gym emails everyone of upcoming events where they can individually decide if they want to take part. If you want to take part, just head down to an Anytime Fitness near you, and sign up. They’re benefitting a heart disease charity soon so now would be the perfect time to get involved.
