WOLF Fitness, in partnership with the Township, launches Harrison Township Wellness Day, a celebration of health, wellness, and community. Discover how this new event came to life!

This spring, WOLF Fitness, in partnership with the Township, is launching the inaugural Harrison Township Wellness Day, a free, fun celebration of health, wellness, and community. The event will take place Saturday, May 30, at WOLF Fitness Mullica Hill.

When Michael Becktel, owner of WOLF Fitness Mullica Hill, purchased the former Kennedy Fitness facility, his vision extended beyond just building another gym. He set out to create a community where people could grow stronger, learn about wellness, and connect with one another.

Now, that vision is expanding beyond the walls of WOLF Fitness. For Michael, the launch of Harrison Township Wellness Day reflects a personal journey. After his father suffered a stroke, he became driven to better understand recovery and healthspan, the goal of not just living longer but staying active and healthy longer, and helping others do the same.

The idea of hosting a wellness event took shape following WOLF Fitness’s open house in April 2025. That event invited guests to experience the facility’s extensive upgrades and featured wellness vendors, mini classes, family-friendly activities, and healthy food.

“The energy that day was incredible,” Michael recalled. “People weren’t just there to see the gym; they were connecting, learning, and having fun. That’s when I realized this could become something bigger for the community.”

Harrison Township is known for bringing residents together through beloved traditions like Lights on Main, which draws thousands to Mullica Hill’s Main Street to kick off the holidays, and Harrison Township Day, a celebration of the town held annually in June at Ella Harris Park. Building on that same spirit of community, Michael’s idea evolved into Harrison Township Wellness Day, an event that brings the community together around health and wellness.

Michael added, “This town has such a strong sense of community. My hope is that Harrison Township Wellness Day becomes another tradition, centered around health, wellness, and coming together as neighbors.”

The celebration will feature healthy food, giveaways, music, a fire-themed bounce house, and a real Harrison Township fire truck. Plus, families can enjoy an open swim and meet WOLF Fitness swim instructors. Guests are also invited to take part in health activities, light fitness challenges, group class previews, and explore local health and wellness vendors.

Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 30, and be part of WOLF Fitness and Harrison Township’s inaugural Wellness Day, a community gathering offering health, connection, and fun.
