Hey Carozza Family!

We’re looking for a few more volunteer judges for the 2026 Donor Games Championship at Carozza Fitness on Saturday, September 19.

The Donor Games is a national fitness competition that brings together living kidney donors, transplant recipients, and members of the fitness community to compete while raising awareness for living kidney donation and supporting the mission of the National Kidney Registry.

We’re incredibly excited to be hosting this year’s championship at Carozza Fitness and want to make sure we give these athletes the competition experience they deserve.

We need a few more people who would be willing to volunteer as judges. You do not need to be a coach, but you should have a good understanding of CrossFit-style movements and be comfortable holding athletes to clear movement standards. The athletes have worked extremely hard to get here, and there are significant cash prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, so consistent and fair judging is extremely important.

We will provide all workouts and movement standards ahead of time so everyone is fully prepared before competition day.

If you’re available on Saturday, September 19 and would like to help us be part of an incredible event for an even better cause, please reply YES and I’ll send you the details.

Thank you!
Mike

Welcome to the team, Bunmi! We’re excited to have you as part of the Carozza Fitness family.

Some people join a gym.

Others help build it.

Helen Peng did exactly that.

When Helen came to Carozza Fitness, she brought with her what felt like an entire community of incredible women. Together, they became a driving force behind the growth of our gym and helped build the foundation of the community we know today.

But Helen’s impact went far beyond the people she introduced. She led by example. She showed up, worked hard, encouraged others, and made everyone around her better. She embodied everything Carozza Fitness has always stood for.

Over the years, Helen and her family became much more than members to me. They became friends, and people I’ll always be grateful to have had in my life.

This Legacy Project exists to remind the next generation that Carozza Fitness wasn’t built by one person—it was built by people like Helen who believed in what we were creating and helped turn it into something special.

Helen, thank you for believing in us, for bringing so many amazing people into our community, and for leaving a legacy that continues to shape Carozza Fitness every single day.

❤️ The Carozza Fitness Legacy Project

🌎🔥 CHURRASCO & GRINGOS 🔥🌎

One of our favorite things about Carozza Fitness isn’t just what happens during class—it’s the incredible people who make up our community.

Over the years we’ve been fortunate to welcome members from all over the world, especially an amazing group from South America. What started as a conversation with Rodolfo turned into an idea that I couldn’t stop thinking about…

So we’re making it happen.

This isn’t just about great food—it’s about celebrating the friendships, cultures, and community we’ve built together.

Everyone is welcome. Bring your family, bring a friend, and if you’d like, bring a favorite dish from your family’s heritage to share.

Please RSVP by August 1 so we can plan the feast!

I have a feeling this is going to become one of those Carozza Fitness traditions that people look forward to every year.

For nearly 29 years, Carozza Fitness has been more than a gym.

It’s been a place where friendships were formed, goals were achieved, challenges were overcome, and lives were changed.

The Legacy Project is our effort to preserve the stories of the members who helped build this community.

Over the coming weeks, our summer interns will be interviewing members who have been part of Carozza Fitness for 5 years or longer (7 for more than 20) collecting the memories, lessons, and experiences that make this place special.

If you’ve been with us for 5+ years, we’d love to hear your story.

Because our greatest achievement isn’t the equipment, the building, or the workouts.

It’s the people.
