Fitness and Weight Loss Facility in Palos Hills Raises Money for Local Resident in Need

Palos Hills, IL, October 13, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Training Ground TransformationNATION, a brand-new Palos Hills-based fitness facility dedicated to body transformations, weight loss and muscle gain, hosted the fundraising event “FitCAMP for a CAUSE” last weekend to raise money for A Walk for Wes, a local charitable foundation dedicated to raising money for the rehabilitation of Wesley Bobek, a young Polish-American immigrant without family in the US who was tragically paralyzed in an accident in 2012.

“Training Ground is dedicated to helping improve the lives of those in our community on a daily basis, and helping to raise money for a great cause that is close to home like this is is directly in line with our mission,” owner Ben Ballinger said. “I want to personally thank the incredible generosity of the folks who participated in our event, as well as the local businesses who donated time, money, products and services to this event that allowed us to raise over $1,000 for our cause.”

Training Ground TransformationNATION hosted the event, which involved an hour-long, intense circuit-style workout with weights, body weight exercises and a variety of athletic training equipment at their Palos Hills-based facility off of 103rd St and 87th Ave, last Saturday morning and had almost 40 people participate.

As a local business owner, Ben “Coach B” Ballinger and the team at Training Ground TransformationNATION are heavily involved in the community and frequently host fundraising events for local and national charities and causes. In 2013, they hosted several charity events, including a fundraiser for the Boston Marathon bombing incident as well as a 2-week charity fitness camp to help raise thousands of dollars worth of food, clothing and money for Colette’s Children’s Home of Huntington Beach to help support the women and children the charity served during the holiday season.
