Englewood – THE GYM, a complete lifestyle and fitness center, is once again opening its doors to support Breast Cancer Awareness month. Last year, THE GYM raised $4,326 for the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation (TNBCF), a local charity. TNBCF funds breakthrough research to support the discovery of promising new treatments and services for patients with triple negative breast cancer. Triple negative tumors generally do not respond to receptor-targeted treatment, can be particularly aggressive, and are more likely to recur than other subtypes of breast cancer.
“We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of THE GYM and its members. Year after year, THE GYM demonstrates its dedication to the fight against breast cancer by spearheading this month-long event to benefit the foundation and its many constituents. This generous support allows us to fund research, programs, and services supporting women and their families battling triple negative breast cancer,” said Hayley Dinerman, Executive Director and Co-Founder of the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation.”
THE GYM of Englewood has scheduled a series of special fundraising events in its fitness center. They include:
Triple Threat Dance Class
As if one trainer wasn’t enough, we provide participants with three trainers in this special class. Join Chris, Hilla, and Cat as they combine dance moves and fitness on Thursday, October 23rd, 8:30 pm.
Weekend PINK Ride

“I’m thrilled to be able to put together an exciting lineup of events” Nurit Chasman, Group Fitness Director in Englewood, stated. “We hope to surpass the funds we raised last year to combat this disease. We’re excited to see our members participating in this interactive community event, and having fun while doing it!”
About the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation
Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation (TNBCF) was founded in 2006 in honor of Nancy Block-Zenna, who was diagnosed at the young age of 35 with triple negative breast cancer before succumbing to the disease in 2007. TNBCF strives to be a credible source for triple negative breast cancer information, a catalyst for science and patient advocacy groups, and a caring community with meaningful services for triple negative patients and their families.
