On the 2nd and 3rd of August, Peak Fitness will be hosting a 24-Hour Metcon Marathon to raise money for an incredible local cause: The Galbally Friends’ Fund. That’s 24 gruelling workouts, spread across 24 hours — one on the hour, every hour.

Whether you're up for just one workout, or feeling brave enough to join me for all 24, there's a space for everyone to get involved. Each workout will be varied in difficulty, meaning all fitness levels are welcome and encouraged to take part.

When I bought and took over Peak Fitness a little under a year and a half ago, I made a promise to myself that we’d hold at least one charitable event every year.

Why?

Because Galbally isn’t just a place — it’s a community like no other. It’s supportive, respectful, encouraging, inclusive, warm, and genuinely welcoming.

I’ve lived all over the UK. I’m originally from England, but I can say, hand on heart, that I’ve never felt more at home than I do here. Galbally has a way of wrapping you up and making you feel like you belong — and that’s not something you find just anywhere.

One local charity that truly reflects the spirit of this community is The Galbally Friends’ Fund.

This incredible organisation quietly and compassionately supports individuals facing intense treatments, major surgeries, palliative diagnoses, and extreme trauma. They don’t ask for recognition, thanks, or even a nod in their direction. They just give — because that’s what real community looks like.

Every rep, every drop of sweat, and every donation raised through this event will directly support those people and families when they need it most.

I believe when you're lucky enough to become part of something as special as the Galbally community, it’s your responsibility to nurture it, protect it, and help it grow — so it’s still just as strong for the generations to come.

That’s why I’m doing this.

And I hope you’ll get behind us — by turning up, sweating it out, sharing the word, or dropping a donation.

Let’s show just how powerful this community can be when it rallies together.

Thank you,

Craig
