MILTON, Ga. — Planet Fitness in Milton donated nine new Matrix Aura strength machines to the Milton Fire Department’s Station 43, giving firefighters access to high-quality training equipment to support the physical demands of their job.

In February, team members from Planet Fitness set up the gym equipment in the station’s bay and invited smiling firefighters to test it out. Each piece of equipment targets a different part of the body, so firefighters can work out between calls, without leaving the fire station.
The delivery brought together firefighters and the Planet Fitness team for a community-focused moment that showcased the station’s new equipment.
“We’re extraordinarily grateful to the Planet Fitness team for their generous donation, which will bring happiness to and promote good health among our firefighters,” Milton Fire Chief Gabe Benmoussa said. “One of the best things about working in Milton is being part of such an amazing, supportive community, and this is a wonderful above-and-beyond example of that.”
