Preview of Dead Lift-A-Thon at The Club Fitness Center | WJHL

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) – A local fitness center is calling on the Tri-Cities’ best weightlifters to test their strength for a good cause.

The Club Fitness Center in Johnson City is hosting a Dead Lift-A-Thon this weekend. In this unique fundraiser, a powerlifter lifts as much weight as possible and a sponsor pledges a certain amount of money per pound.

The proceeds then go to the local Boys and Girls Club and the Wounded Warrior Project.

Chase Bruce and Pilar Berchot from the club were guests on Good Morning Tri-Cities and shared in detail how weightlifters and non-weightlifters can enjoy this weekend’s event.

Those who are not training can still come along and enjoy the barbecue, live DJ and prizes. The event is also open to non-members.

Dead Lift-A-Thon takes place on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. You can find the club at 316 Marketplace Boulevard.
