My Project

This is such an amazing opportunity for my classroom (weight room). My students attend a very academically rigorous school but have shown so much growth and improvement in the weight room. They are exceeding my expectations for them and reaching goals they have set for themselves. I would love to help them get equipment, so they are able to better hit their goals. The barbell will replace broken ones we have currently, and the bumpers will allow students to go up in more weight when they lift. I hope to continue to build this program!

We are currently using broken barbells and old miss-match metal bumpers.
