Fitness center won’t host prom for students

TapouT Fitness, a gym that opened at the end of last year in Hamilton on Main Street, had offered to host prom for those ineligible students instead.

“Instead of hosting a prom, TapouT Fitness is offering all Hamilton High School Seniors a complimentary two-month membership, including classes,” one of the owners, Anthony Oglesby, said in an email statement to the Journal-News. “We feel that the discipline of fitness and martial arts will help them during the next phase of their academic or professional career. We want to congratulate the seniors on this major accomplishment and wish them well in the future.”
