CRUNCH FITNESS TRAINS PARTICIPANTS TO RUN FOR A PURPOSE AT THE ONE STEP CLOSER TO A CURE 5K RACE SUPPORTING OVARIAN CANCER

CR Fitness, a leading franchisee of Crunch Fitness, announced its partnership with the Celma Mastry Ovarian Cancer Foundation at its annual One Step Closer to the Cure 5K race. On September 9, 2023, Fitness Trainers from Crunch St. Pete and Crunch Tyrone, will lead warm-ups for all participants prior to the race that starts and ends at Albert Whitted Park, 480 Bayshore Drive SE. Participants may walk, run, or jog with fellow supporters along downtown St. Pete’s spectacular waterfront in support of local women suffering from ovarian cancer.

“The Crunch Fitness team is excited to be a part of the One Step Closer to the Cure 5k race and further encourage the community to embrace a healthy lifestyle through fitness while supporting the fight against ovarian cancer,” said Tony Scrimale, CR Fitness CEO.

Fusing fitness with entertainment to make serious exercise fun, Crunch Fitness offers top-quality cardio and strength training equipment, a dedicated group fitness studio, hot yoga, boxing, and cycling studios, saunas, spacious locker rooms, a wellness spa with hydrotherapy and tanning capsules, and more. CR Fitness is led by fitness industry leaders Vince Julien, Geoff Dyer, Tony Scrimale, and Jeff Dotson, who together have more than 150 years of fitness experience.
The Celma Mastry Ovarian Cancer Foundation was started 20 years ago by Celma, her family, and friends to help other women who were also suffering from ovarian cancer. Although her own diagnosis came too late to save her life, Celma’s spirit lives on in the foundation’s mission to unite family, friends, and community to fight ovarian cancer.

“We are grateful to all of our participants, sponsor, and community partners like Crunch Fitness who help us put on this fun event from which all proceeds go to local women,” said Celma’s daughter Claudette Carlan, Chairman of the Celma Mastry Ovarian Cancer Foundation.

The Crunch Fitness team will have a tent on-site handing out Free 1-Day passes and cheering on participants. To Register for the One Step Closer to the Cure 5K run, the 1-mile run, or the sleep-in option go to cmocf.org/onestep and receive a unique referral code to pass along to friends and family.
