FGB UPDATE
GYM REVOLT raises over $7,900!
BERKELEY HEIGHTS
— On Saturday, Sept. 17th, Gym Revolt hosted its first “Fight Gone Bad” event which
raised $7,910 for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, CrossFit kids, and
Camp Patriot.
Ten competitors trained for several months in preparation for this seventeen minute
grueling event that challenged their strength, stamina and overall fitness. This event included push presses: pressing 75lbs overhead, sumo deadlift
high pulls: pulling 75lbs off the floor-to-over pecs, wall ball shots: squatting
down and tossing a 20lb ball-10ft into the wall, box jumps: jumping up and down
onto a 20” platform, and row machine. The participants’ endurance and overall
conditioning was tested every second of every exercise by performing the
maximum amount of repetitions at each for one minute straight. To prepare for
this event, Gym Revolt members met three-to-four times per week for group training
classes. 
The proceeds from Fight Gone Bad went to the Special Operations Warrior
Foundation, CrossFit kids, and Camp Patriot.
“FGB is for a wonderful cause, and we were very glad to be able to host this
event,” said Joe Bellisano, co-founder of Gym Revolt and manager of the event.
“Our members trained hard to get ready for this competition, and they also
worked hard to raise money for their sponsorships. We’re grateful for their
hard work and commitment.”FGB results...

Scott Zagarino, founder of the Fight Gone Bad charity event said, “These men gave us all they had. The least we can do is give them the comfort of knowing their children will be taken care of. We'll make sure they get the education each of these men would have wanted for his children, as our way of giving thanks.” Gym Revolt invites local media organizations to document the event first hand – camera crews and photographers are welcome – both leading up to the date and the day of.
Where: 99 Industrial Road, Berkeley Heights, NJ 07922

“Fight Gone Bad captures the Gym Revolt member’s passionate commitment to personal fitness and strength and - for just one day - utilizes this passion to give back for causes that address immediate needs in our country. Most of us have or know a father, mother, brother, sister, cousin, aunt, uncle, distant relative, or friend overseas risking their lives for our freedom. Since Gym Revolt has proven what we can do as a community, increasing our fund raising results each year, we are proud to announce that we are an active part of this year’s mission to support these kids and veterans. You can read more about these charities by visiting our site, under the ‘upcoming events’ tab. Thank you in advance for any and all support!” said Joseph J. Bellisano, co-founder of Gym Revolt.
Gym Revolt’s philosophy is based on the premise that our bodies and mind respond to constantly changing environments and workouts while our experiences are enhanced powerfully in a team driven environment. We believe that our bodies can be worked effectively without expensive, exotic equipment- in a simple, spare environment without all the trappings of an expensive, trendy health club.
