SWEAT for a VET 2010 — the first-of-its-kind inclusive fitness fundraising event, benefiting wounded warriors, was held on Saturday November 13, 2010 at the Tysons Sport & Health club in McLean, VA. Funds went to help disabled Veterans at the Walter Reed Army Hospital and Bethesda National Naval Medical Center through the purchase of equipment.
Challenged athletes and disabled Veterans participated and led the indoor cycling, Kranking® and rowing "ride" alongside able-bodied individuals with special guest Johnny G, creator of Spinning® and the new Krankcycle by Matrix. In addition to the main event site, all 23 other Sport & Health locations plus other clubs nationally and internationally participated with local SWEAT-a-thons through live video link. Live video streaming of the event was available to everyone, and almost 1000 people logged on to view the site before, during and after the 3-hour event, hosted by nonprofit Project VisAbility with Sport & Health.
