Summary

House Resolution 636 (HR636) commends Wareing's Gym in Virginia Beach for its significant contributions to health and wellness over the past 65 years. Founded in 1960 by John Wareing, following the legacy of his father, Bill Wareing Sr., a physical culturist, the gym has become an integral part of the local fitness community. The resolution highlights the charisma and dedication of its leaders, who have fostered an inclusive culture focused on helping patrons achieve their fitness goals.
