A Note from Anton: Why Juneteenth Matters to WELLFIT

Understanding Juneteenth:
A Brief History

Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th, marks a significant moment in American history. It commemorates the day in 1865 when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce that all enslaved people were free, over two years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. This day is a powerful reminder of resilience, freedom, and the ongoing fight for equality.

Why Juneteenth Is Important to WELLFIT

At WELLFIT, we are committed to promoting not just physical wellness, but also social and emotional well-being. Recognizing Juneteenth aligns with our core values of diversity, inclusion, and community. It's a day that encourages us to reflect on our shared history and the progress that has been made, while acknowledging the work that still lies ahead.

A Message from Anton

Hello everyone, Anton here. As the founder of WELLFIT, I want to express how deeply important Juneteenth is to our mission. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by many and the strength that arises from overcoming them. It’s a call to action for all of us to continue striving for equality and justice in every aspect of life.

We believe that by acknowledging and celebrating Juneteenth, we not only honor the past but also contribute to a brighter future. Let's use this day as an opportunity to educate ourselves and others about the importance of freedom and equality for all.

Looking Forward

As we look toward the future, WELLFIT remains dedicated to making a positive impact in our community by supporting initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion. We invite you all to join us in celebrating Juneteenth and working towards a world where wellness is accessible to everyone.

When I created WELLFIT, I wasn’t just thinking about exercise—I was thinking about liberation. Not just physical strength, but the freedom to rest, recover, and move how we choose.

That’s why we’re starting with something close to home: our WELLFIT Juneteenth Experience. It’s a one-day celebration designed for my personal training clients—those of you who’ve been with me through every rep and reset.

On June 19th, we’re taking over the 10K rooftop, gym, spa amenities, and the streets of DC. We’ll start the day with lifting, a Capitol jog, and brunch by the riverfront. Then we’ll spend the day moving, eating, playing, and sharing stories—before closing it out with sauna time and drinks under the stars.

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters—together.

💵 Price: $300 per person

That’s the cost of just two PT sessions with me—and it covers a 12-hour, all-inclusive event. Training, food, games, recovery, and a rooftop celebration. A full day of WELLFIT for the price of a few reps.

This is more than an experience—it’s a declaration of wellness and joy. Let’s celebrate Juneteenth with freedom of movement, nourishment, and connection.
