It’s hard to believe, but this year marks 7 years of The Proving Grounds.

Over the past seven years, we’ve had the privilege of watching incredible people walk through our doors, accomplish things they never thought possible, and become part of something much bigger than a gym. None of that would have been possible without this amazing community, and we’d love nothing more than to celebrate it with all of you.

This year, we’re making our annual TPG Community Day even bigger by turning it into a 7-Year Anniversary Open House!

📅 Sunday, August 30
🕑 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM
📍 The Proving Grounds
48 Northside Road

This event is for everyone who has been part of the TPG journey. Whether you’re a current member, a former member, someone who dropped in for a few classes, only trained with us once, had a child participate in one of our dryland or athletic training programs, or you’ve simply been thinking about checking us out—you’re invited! We’d love the opportunity to reconnect, catch up, and celebrate together.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

🍔 Food and refreshments

👕 TPG merchandise giveaways

💪 Membership giveaways

🎯 Fun activities for all ages

🤝 A chance to meet members, coaches, and families that make TPG such a special place

One of the things we’re most proud of is the community we’ve built together. If you have a friend, family member, coworker, or teammate who’s been curious about The Proving Grounds or could benefit from being part of an encouraging, supportive fitness community, this is the perfect opportunity to bring them along. We’d love the chance to meet them and show them what TPG is all about 💪

Please contact us to let us know if you plan on attending 🤞
