Abhi chose  Asha for Education , a non-profit with a mission to, “ catalyze socio-economic change in India through the education of underprivileged children.” We are so stoked to be supporting such an awesome cause and we cannot wait to see the positive impact of all of the donations given throughout the year!

While the awards ceremony was a touching moment, it was the speech from Mike that truly captured the essence of what the gym is all about. In his speech, he emphasized the importance of community and how the gym is more than just a place to work out, it’s a place where members come together to support and motivate each other.

Another highlight was the incredible spread of food provided by Greg Califano. The smoked meats were the star of the show and a hit with everyone in attendance. The delicious aroma of the meats filled the gym, and it was a fitting tribute to the hard work and dedication of all of the members.

As the night went on, the energy in the room continued to build as everyone caught up with each other, shared stories, laughed, and reflected on the past 10 years at Prototype. The holiday party was a great opportunity for everyone to connect and reflect while looking forward to the year ahead.

The Holiday Party was a night to remember, filled with laughter, good food, and memories that will last a lifetime. The gym is more than just a place to work out, it’s a place where members come together to support each other and celebrate their achievements. We’re much more than a gym here at Prototype, we’re a family.
