  • Building Balance and Strength with BOSU Trainers

    Funded Sep 15, 2024

    Thanks to your generosity, my students are now using the BOSU Balance Trainers to enhance their workouts in a variety of ways. These versatile tools have become a staple in our weightlifting and balance training routines. For example, during our box squat and bench press sessions, students use the BOSU trainers to engage their core and improve stability, making these movements more effective and challenging. We've also incorporated balance drills, where students stand or perform movements on the dome side, building coordination and muscle control. These exercises are not only helping their physical fitness but also teaching them the importance of focus and perseverance.

    When my students first saw the BOSU trainers, their reactions were priceless. Many were curious and excited, asking, "What are we doing with these?" Once we demonstrated how they would be used, their enthusiasm grew. Some students, who were initially nervous about balancing on an unstable surface, quickly turned their hesitation into determination. Watching them push themselves, support their peers, and cheer each other on has been incredibly rewarding.

    These resources have truly transformed the way we approach strength and fitness training. My students are more engaged, motivated, and confident in their abilities. Thank you for making this possible and for believing in my students and their potential!”

  • Weight Training Class

    Funded Feb 5, 2022

    Thank you so much for donating to this project. With the new equipment we received, my students are able to learn new lifting movements which further aid their progress in strength training goals. They even got an extra workout by helping to carry the new equipment to the weight room.

    All of the students were very excited to try new exercises and test their strength. Workouts ran a lot smoother now that multiple students can complete each lift at the same time. Students are excited to learn more, as we have less wait time in between sets thanks to the new equipment.

    The next steps in my weight training class will be introducing the students to even more exercise movements. This allows students to work muscles in different ways, giving them even better strength and conditioning results.”

    With gratitude,

    Coach Drecksel

We teach weight training in our physical education classes and have limited equipment. This equipment will enable us to introduce our students to different styles of training so that they can find one that suits them. We will use the resistance bands, kettlebells, dumbbells, hex bars, and other fitness equipment to teach them how to train their bodies for sport and life. We focus on safety in the weight room and give them as much exposure to training modalities as possible, so that they will know how to continue training after our class ends.
