Free Gym Passes to On-Leave Military Personnel

May 24, 2012

Chicago, IL — Charter Fitness is giving a free gym pass to any member of the military who is on short-term leave from active duty. Members of the military only need to present their Military IDs and leave papers to receive the free pass. The pass is good for the duration of leave and entitles them to full benefits at their local Charter Fitness location.

“Every time I come home on leave to see my family, I get my workout in at Charter Fitness. The staff is very friendly and helpful, especially here in Homer Glen, and they always let me workout on a free pass,” said David Keltner, SSGT, US Army.

As for locally-based military and their spouses and children, Charter Fitness is waiving the joining fee. This $0-to-join offer is also good for members of the police and fire department, as well as their spouses and children.

“We at Charter Fitness are very grateful to our service men and women for the sacrifices they make. We just want to show our thanks and make things a little easier and more comfortable for them and their families,” said Dan Collins, Director of Sales, Charter Fitness.
