Safety in the Weight Room

Help me give my students the ability to use a safety bar in my weight training class.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Hashimoto's classroom raised $858

This project is fully funded

My Project

Having safety bars in my weight training class will give my students the opportunity to squat and lunge safely. The safety bar provides more support for your back and it puts less pressure on your lower back area. My goal for this project is to have all of my students feel comfortable and be safe while doing squats or lunges. I also want them to utilize the safety bars to increase their strength in their lower body. My students are special because they come to class everyday ready to workout and get stronger. They also know the importance of living a physically active life.
