CENTERVILLE, Ga. (WGXA) — A Centerville gym called on the community to participate in a stair master challenge to honor those who died in the line of duty on September 11, 2001.

Crunch Fitness hosted its annual "9/11 Remembrance Stair Climb Challenge" on Thursday.

Staff and gym members were challenged to climb 110 flights of stairs on the gym's step mills, which symbolize the 110 floors of the World Trade Center Twin Towers.

Participants could also dress in full firefighting gear and pay tribute to the first responders who lost their lives helping others 24 years ago.

"We take that moment to just remember the people who died, remember the tragic event," said Jayda Smith, the Group Fitness Coordinator at Crunch Fitness. "Now that it has been 24 years, I think it's even more important for us to host this event, so that we do never forget."

The challenge was an all-day event, and participants had the chance to earn a free one-week membership to Crunch Fitness.
