Community Invited to Club 600 Open House on Sept. 12 Club 600/Crossfit 600 will open its doors to the Bedford community on Saturday, Sept. 12, from 7:30 to 11 a.m. for a morning of fitness classes, raffles, giveaways, and a chance to win a year of Club 600 membership, all in support of the Jack Trottier Foundation. After learning the story of Trottier, Jane Karpovsky and Denis Mezheritskiy, Club 600 owners, decided to throw their support to the work of his foundation. At the age of 17, Trottier sustained a spinal cord injury in a snowboarding accident. Through his own experience and recovery, Trottier learned that leaving the hospital is only the beginning of the journey. Insurance may cover much of the medical care, but it often doesn't cover many of the things a person needs to return home safely and regain their independence: wheelchair ramps, home accessibility modifications, adaptive equipment, and other necessities. Here are ways Club 600 suggests to support the Trottier Foundation: To attend a class, send email to jane@summitbedford.com to reserve a spot on Sept. 12.
