On Sept. 27, Excel Fitness’s Colony and Farmers Branch clubs sponsored the Bow Wow Luau at Hawaiian Waters Water Park in The Colony, Texas. Once a year, the Hawaiian Waters Water Park opens its doors and allows dogs and their owners to cool off and enjoy the waterpark. Admission is $25, and a portion of the proceeds goes toward The Colony Animal Shelter’s Injured Animal Fund, giving animals a chance at a fulfilling life.

As a sponsor for the event, Excel Fitness gave a donation to the cause. The franchise group also had a booth set up to inform people at the event about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle as a member at Planet Fitness^®. There were approximately 1,000 people there, along with a lot of dogs with wagging tails. This event allowed the franchise group to give back to a great cause, join in the community fun and share the perks of being a PF^® member.

“Giving back to our communities and being able to make a positive impact is something that we strive for each and every day! We take pride in building communities through fitness, and it gives us a sense of purpose by allowing us to connect with our community members in a meaningful way. I am so proud and grateful for the amazing leaders and managers that represent the North Dallas region,” said Julie Carney-Ayala, regional manager at Excel Fitness.
