(Decorah, IA) – On Saturday, June 13, at 7:30 AM, The Well at Crater Fitness will host a free will donation class to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association. The class will include 28 minutes of indoor cycling, 28 minutes of strength and stretching, and finish with mimosas and fellowship. Participants who do not wish to participate in the cycling portion are welcome to attend the strength and stretching portion only. Located at Crater Fitness ((1816 IA-9, Decorah, IA) in Decorah, The Well offers spin/indoor cycling, strength-training, kickboxing, Pilates and Vinyasa yoga classes. Instructors Heidi Rockweiler and Shelly Johannsen are donating their time to teach the class. “While we offer a wide variety of fitness classes for all levels and interests, we also place great value on emotional health, mental well-being, social connection, and balanced living,” said Rockweiler. The Well has a strong history of supporting good causes, including everything from the Humane Society to Kids’ Lunch Club to The Decorah Area Veterans Memorial Fund. A complete list of organizations supported can be found at https://thewellcares.square.site/giving-back-to-the-community. This fundraiser was selected because several members have a personal connection to Alzheimer’s and want to help make sure that one day there are cures or preventative measures. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, one in three older adults will die with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, and the disease kills more people than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. In 2026, Alzheimer’s and other dementias will cost our nation $409 million dollars, an amount that is projected to increase to nearly a trillion dollars a year by 2050 if nothing changes. Funds raised from the event will support the Alzheimer’s Association, which leads the way to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support. The event is open to the public and individuals who are new to group fitness are encouraged to attend. “Absolutely every body is welcome. We are here to encourage, support, guide, and meet you wherever you are in your journey,” said Rockweiler. Advance registration is required, and interested parties should contact Heidi at 563-419-2408. Participants should bring a clean pair of gym shoes, a water bottle, and a can-do attitude. The cost of the event is a free-will donation to the Alzheimer’s Association, and the first $500 in donations will be matched by anonymous donors.
