For the second year in a row, Impact Fitness partnered with EPIC Fitness and the Audacy radio network to co-host a dance competition, “Dance Your Way to 10k.” To enter, radio listeners in the Detroit, Michigan, metro area were encouraged to submit a short audition tape. The 10 best submissions were chosen to compete for a chance to win $10,000.

The live competition took place in a local Planet Fitness^® club on April 18 and was deemed another successful way to connect with the local community. Official team mascots of the Detroit Pistons and the Detroit Tigers, alongside members of the Pistons’ cheer squad, were in attendance to boost the energy and show support.

“By bringing people together through music and dance, we’re creating opportunities for connection, celebration and shared experiences that enrich our community and showcase local talent,” said Sarah Wilson, marketing director at Impact Fitness.

The competition was judged by a panel that consisted of local endorsers Impact Fitness partners with through Audacity radio networks. Contestants selected to take part in the competition were placed in an elimination system. Dancers were critiqued on skill, creativity and movement. Multiple head-to-head rounds occurred until only two dancers remained. When it was all said and done, Medhi Arshed from metro Detroit finished victorious and took home the hefty cash prize.

“This is such a fun and exciting event. We truly enjoy hosting the dancers and appreciate all the hard work they put into prepping for the event,” said Mary Scott, vice president of marketing at EPIC Fitness Group. “Each year, we manage to make it bigger and better and cannot wait to do it again in 2027.”
