"The pain and suffering we go through while we sweat is nothing like the families, what they feel. So we do Hero workouts to honor those guys, just to kind of mimic the pain and suffering they go through and also to honor them because we do appreciate what they do for us so we can be safe and free," said Nina Arezina, owner.

Saturday's money also went to support the Police Unity Ride, a bike ride stretching from New Jersey to Washington, D.C., as well as the National Law Enforcement Memorial.



At last check, Complete Fitness raised more than $3,000.
