On Thursday, Aug. 4, from 11 a.m.-Noon at Madonna ProActive, eight fitness trainers and ProActive’s general manager put their muscles to work to make good on a promise made by the trainers to club members.

From July 11-22, ProActive staff challenged club members to donate canned goods and items needed to support the Food Bank of Lincoln. The incentive being members could turn the table on their personal trainers, making them perform push-ups, pull-ups, planks and lunges based on the total amount of goods raised. At the end of the drive, that total was 423 items donated. Each trainer will take a turn spinning the “wheel of pain” and perform an allocated number of repetitions of the exercise on which the wheel stops.
Across all of Madonna’s services lines, more than 2,000 pounds of food and nearly $2,000 was collected during this campaign coordinated by Madonna’s St. Jane de Chantal long term care service line. Items were collected organization-wide from employees, patients, clients, members and visitor of Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital,  St. Jane de Chantal long term care, Madonna’s Child Development Center, The Alexis Verzal Children’s Rehabilitation Hospital, Madonna Foundation, TherapyPlus outpatient clinics, ProActive, Soteria and Fit for Work.
