The battle for fitness supremacy hits Bergen County this summer! On Saturday, August 16th, GYM WARS takes over Veterans Field in Edgewater, NJ, from 10 AM to 2 PM, inviting the community to witness—and participate in—a head-to-head fitness showdown where top local gyms compete for glory, bragging rights, and community pride.
But this is more than just a fitness event. Gym Wars also marks the official kickoff campaign for Gains App, a new competitive fitness platform launching later this year that allows users to compete in real-world challenges, earn rewards, track performance, and engage in fitness like never before. Created for athletes, trainers, and everyday competitors, the app blends social fitness, accountability, and real-world payouts into one powerful experience.
“This is about reimagining what fitness competition can look like,” said Hayes Kanyike, founder and CEO of Gains App Inc. “Gym Wars is our way of introducing the community to what Gains App stands for—competitive energy, local pride, and the courage to be the best.”
What to Expect at GYM WARS:
• Competing Gyms: Basecamp Edgewater, TBT Fitness Fort Lee, Anytime Fitness Cliffside Park + more
• Team-based fitness challenges testing strength, speed, coordination, and endurance
• Live MC + DJ keeping the crowd energized
• Giveaways, pop-up vendors, food, and merch
• Sneak peek into Gains App, with early sign-up perks and community spotlight interviews
Spectator entry is free, and all are welcome to come cheer, compete, or connect with others passionate about fitness and the local community.
