💖 Why We Lift

This event is about more than workouts. It’s about using strength for solidarity.

All registration fees and donations will go directly to two vital nonprofits:

  • Entre Hermanos – Empowering the Latino LGBTQ+ community through healthcare, legal support, and advocacy
  • Lambert House – Providing LGBTQ+ youth with a safe, affirming space to grow and connect

At a time when LGBTQ+ rights are under threat nationwide, it’s more important than ever to show up, speak out, and stand together.

💪 The Workout Format

This is a 2-person team workout with three fabulous events:

  • Werk the Wall – Those wall balls won’t throw themselves
  • Clean, Squat, Slay – Not just lifting—serving
  • Booty, Don’t Stop – Glutes on fire, spirits even higher

No gender divisions. No pressure. All fitness levels welcome. Just bring your authentic self and have fun!

🏳️‍🌈 Who’s Invited?

Everyone.
This event is open to members and non-members alike. Whether you’re here to compete or just celebrate PRIDE with the community, you belong here.

Congratulations to the Winners of the 2025 Throwdown Series! 🏆

FOUNDATION Gym’s 2025 Throwdown Series has come to a close, and we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible athletes who pushed their limits, showed up, and crushed the workouts over the last three weeks. From March 1st to March 15th, our community came together for three epic Throwdown events, each packed with sweat, grit, and determination.

Thank You to All Who Participated!

Whether you tackled the Rx or Scaled version of the workouts, you gave it your all, and that’s what truly matters. We’re beyond proud of every single person who participated, and it was amazing to witness the support, encouragement, and camaraderie throughout the event.

Our Throwdown Series is a reminder that we’re part of something much bigger — a community of athletes pushing their boundaries. But it’s also about our FOUNDATION family, where we celebrate not just the winners, but everyone who shows up ready to challenge themselves and give their best effort.

And the Winners Are…

We’re thrilled to announce the winners of our 2025 Throwdown Series! Congratulations to the athletes who took the our staggered podium spots in our competition:

Rx Division

  • 1st Place: Morgan M.🥇

  • 4th Place: Adam L.🥈

  • 7th Place: Matt R. 🥉

Scaled Division

  • 1st Place: Prateek K.🥇

  • 4th Place: Puneet K.🥈

  • 7th Place: So many athletes opted to challenge themselves to the higher standard that we didn’t have a 7th place in this division! 💪

These athletes didn’t just complete the workouts — they crushed them with unwavering dedication and focus. Whether Rx or Scaled, they embodied the spirit of our Throwdown Series: pushing yourself to new heights, while also lifting up the entire community. We rewarded our podium finishers with amazing prizes! For those who completed the event with us for all 3 Saturdays, your names were put into a drawing for a free month of membership. Congratulations Angus!

Celebrations Beyond the Gym!

Each week, we wrapped up the Throwdown events with a fun gathering at a local bar or restaurant, where we could relax, socialize, and reflect on the experience together. Whether you were a winner or a first-time participant, these meetups were a fantastic opportunity to connect with new friends and celebrate each week’s conclusion.

What’s Next?

The Throwdown Series may be over, but the journey doesn’t stop here. We are already planning more events and challenges to keep you moving, motivated, and improving. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements, and don’t forget to keep pushing your limits. Every workout is an opportunity to grow stronger, both physically and mentally.

Once again, congratulations to all our participants, and a special shoutout to our podium winners! You all inspire us, and we can’t wait to see where your hard work takes you next.

See you at the gym and beyond!

— The FOUNDATION Gym Team
