Workout Anytime Duncanville joined in a 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb for three days, from September 8-11. Over a dozen of the fitness brand’s 160 locations participated in the event. Participants used their stair climb machines to complete 110 flights of stairs. That’s the same amount of floors first responders completed during the 9/11 rescue mission.

It has been 19 years since the twin towers at the World Trade Center were attacked. Local police and fire departments were invited to participate with the general public, with or without full professional gear. Individuals participating in the stair-climbing event receive a free t-shirt and are included in a raffle for free months of membership and training sessions. They are selling commemorative t-shirts for $20, with a portion of the proceeds going towards the Duncanville Fire Department.

Michelle Rivera, regional manager of Workout Anytime Duncanville, said, “The 9/11 Challenge represents exactly what the name implies, a challenge. By overcoming our limitations we get a glimpse of what the brave men and women of the fire department went through on that fateful day. By completing this challenge, we gain respect and admiration for their efforts, determination, and sacrifice.”

The stair climb machines were placed six feet apart to maintain social distancing, with participants required to sign up to use them. Machines are wiped down after each use in accordance with required safety procedures.
