EarthFIT Training Facility, owned by Ian Hart, held a benefit Saturday, August 6, for the Lady’s Island Fire District as part of its grand opening event. EarthFIT, which opened a new facility in July at 39 Sams Point Rd., behind the Video Warehouse, offered $5 training sessions to the general public, in half-hour increments, from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. Proceeds, totaling $1,136, will be donated to the fire district for its use in purchasing physical training equipment.
