Charitable Fitness Collaborations

HYROX, a prominent fitness competition that combines running and functional workouts, has announced a partnership with GiGi’s Playhouse, a network of centers supporting individuals with Down syndrome. This collaboration aims to increase awareness and acceptance of people with Down syndrome within the fitness community.

GiGi’s Playhouse is now the official charity partner for HYROX America, focusing on integrating HYROX programs into the GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge and other events. Both organizations will work together on national and local events, particularly around Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October, to foster inclusion and independence for individuals with Down syndrome. The collaboration promotes the message that fitness is for everyone, regardless of ability. It encourages broader participation in physical activities and provides opportunities that promote health and wellness within a community’s own terms.
