PINECREST, FLA. (WSVN) - A gym in Pinecrest is lacing up its boxing gloves to help families impacted by the partial government shutdown in their community.

Sucker Punch Fitness has partnered with a neighboring gym to offer federal employees free gym memberships. Those affected will receive a full month free until the shutdown ends.

Sucker Punch owner Charles Aslan said the good thing about boxing is that it’s a great way to relieve stress, adding he and his staff just want to do their part to make people feel as good as possible.

“It’s really important to me. I think giving back is huge,” he said. “These people work hard for us. We want to give back to them, you know? We’re gonna work hard for them as well.”
