Eclipse Fitness demonstrated a strong commitment to the local community with an equipment donation to Camp Southern Ground, a nonprofit organization that supports children and veterans in Georgia by hosting summer camps and veteran programs. The franchise group donated 11 pieces of fitness equipment to the cause, including cardio machines and free weights. Through its generous contribution, Eclipse Fitness was able to successfully create a welcoming, accessible workout space for veterans, families and children who visit Camp Southern Ground.

Started by Grammy award-winning artist Zac Brown in 2011, Camp Southern Ground is located on 400 acres in Fayetteville, Georgia, and features a residential lodge, dining hall, a high ropes confidence course, an aquatics center, solar farm, and even a treehouse that was featured on an episode of the Animal Planet show “Treehouse Masters.” The organization’s Warrior Week program helps veterans transition to civilian life after military service, making the process much easier for those who have risked their lives for our country. Eclipse Fitness Group is committed to serving its local communities in Georgia, as the franchise group has 15 clubs in the state.

“Eclipse Fitness Group is proud to support Camp Southern Ground, a foundation that inspires us with its mission to serve veterans and their families. We were more than happy to help by donating a full gym, including cardio and weight training equipment so that guests can stay healthy and continue their fitness journey, even while away from home,” said Regional Director of Operations for Eclipse Fitness Group Paul Cook.

Camp Southern Ground was incredibly grateful for Eclipse Fitness Group’s equipment donation and generosity, which helped ensure that guests have the tools they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle during their time at the camp.

“A big thank you to Eclipse Fitness Group for their generous donation of fitness equipment to Camp Southern Ground and our veteran programs,” said Lacy Gunnoe, wellbeing director, veteran programs at Camp Southern Ground. “Physical well-being is critical to achieving personal fitness goals and maintaining long-term well-being benchmarks set during our Warrior Week program, especially for veterans navigating the transition into civilian life.”
