Canton Police Department’s New CCMG Gym in the Works!

We had such a great time yesterday with the Canton Police Department, GA as they stopped by to check out the CAD designs for their brand-new gym! It was awesome to walk through the vision together and see the space starting to take shape.

Even more exciting—this gym is being built at no cost to the department, thanks to the Chris Conti Memorial Grant (CCMG). Each year, CCMG honors Chris’s legacy by giving back to the community, and we’re thrilled that Canton PD was chosen as this year’s recipient.

We can’t wait to move from planning to construction and watch this vision come to life. Stay tuned for updates as we bring the Canton Police Department’s new gym to reality, and join us later this fall for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the finished project!

We look forward to bringing this project to life and creating a space that supports the health and wellness of those who serve and protect our community every day.

The Chris Conti Memorial Grant (CCMG), established by Innovative Fitness in 2020, honors co-founder Chris Conti—who passed away in March 2019—by carrying forward his generous spirit of community service Cobb Foundation. Each year on July 30, the company awards a fully outfitted fitness center, including consultation, design, delivery, and installation, to a deserving public high school, nonprofit, first responder facility, or public safety organization in Georgia. Organizations apply by submitting a short video describing how the grant will foster healthier communities and demonstrating their existing fitness space. Past recipients—including Goshen Valley Boys Ranch (2020), Chatsworth Police & Fire (2021), Floyd County PD (2022), Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health (2023), and Northeast High School (2024)—have used the support to enhance wellness programs, emotional health initiatives, and staff fitness amenities . Guided by the company’s motto, “See a need, fill a need,” CCMG continues Chris’s legacy of tangible compassion and transformative community impact.
