My Project

We are trying to raise enough funds to equip our scholars with a wide variety of exercise equipment. This includes heel raises that can be used for a wide variety of exercises. We also want to supply them with some lighter kettlebells that can be used to teach the basics of movements with kettlebells in a safe and effective way. We have received all of our jump ropes and now need a way to share them with the scholars. The most effective way to do this is with a jump rope rack.
