Assistance with Resistance.
Funded Oct 7, 2022Thanks to your generous donations to provide the resistance bands to the FHS weight room students are now capable of performing movements they otherwise were not able to perform. Particularly body weight exercises such as pull-ups, chin-ups, dips, and glute-ham raises. The bands give them enough assistance to complete the movement and thus train this way until they are capable of performing the movement of their own ability.
Other students and athletes also use the bands for stretching and some varying isolation movements.
I really did not expect them to be incorporated quite so much, but so far they have been a huge hit!”

Being Great-Moving Weight!!
Funded Sep 2, 2016Thank you so much for your generous contribution to the Fauquier High School weight room project to purchase bumper plates. Our students have been using them and they absolutely love them! I can't put into words how much we all appreciate your support.
The students can use these weights to perform Olympic style lifts without concern of injury or damage to any of our weight room equipment. As a result, our student-athletes are currently making tremendous gains personally and collectively across the board. It is truly night and day what we are able to accomplish with better equipment and that wouldn't be possible without your support.
On behalf of Fauquier High School and our student athletes I thank you and ask for your continued support. It's a group effort and I am personally grateful as I get to experience first hand the excitement our students have when they accomplish new milestones.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Bailey
