Community Events

Every month, we have special events and recurring meetups for The Stronghold community to enjoy! Stay up-to-date by signing up for our newsletter below, or keep up with our community events here. Also, check out all the great photos from our past events via The Stronghold Photo Album!

VALENTINE'S DAY FUNDRAISER

jOur Valentine’s event will be extra-special this year: it will feature a fundraiser for our cleaner’s family. He worked for the cleaning company used by the gym since we opened 12 years ago, and we are devastated by his removal from the job and the community by ICE. We want to send his family a collective Valentine, so we’ll be fundraising for his family throughout the evening. Day pass revenue will benefit them, so it’s a great time to have friends visit the gym. We will also have an online donation option for those who are already members or can’t make the event!
