Who are we?
Old Tyme Strength is a charity gym dedicated to making fitness accessible to everyone. We blend vintage strength-training techniques with modern equipment, offering affordable memberships and free programs. Our mission is to promote health, well-being, and inclusivity, while supporting local charities through gym proceeds. We provide a welcoming space where people of all fitness levels can achieve their goals and contribute to the community.
Why are we crowdfunding?
Old Tyme Strength is crowdfunding to expand its impact and make fitness accessible to even more people in the community. Funds will support the creation of new programs, improve equipment, and provide free or low-cost memberships for those in need. Additionally, crowdfunding helps sustain charitable efforts, allowing us to donate more proceeds to local causes. By raising funds, we aim to strengthen our mission of promoting health and giving back to the community.
How we’ll spend the money
Old Tyme Strength plans to allocate raised funds toward purchasing new equipment to enhance training facilities, including powerlifting platforms, weightlifting benches, and additional free weights. This upgrade will improve the overall workout experience for members and accommodate a wider variety of fitness programs. Funds will also be used for maintenance, facility improvements, and developing free or low-cost training programs for underserved community members, ensuring that we continue to promote inclusivity and support local charities.
Community impact
The funding for Old Tyme Strength will have a significant positive impact on the community in several ways:
1. **Increased Access to Fitness**: By acquiring new equipment and enhancing facilities, we can offer more accessible and affordable fitness programs, especially for those who may not have the means to join a traditional gym.
2. **Health and Wellness**: Improved training options will encourage more community members to engage in physical fitness, leading to better overall health and well-being.
3. **Community Engagement**: The gym will serve as a hub for social interaction, fostering relationships and a sense of belonging among members.
4. **Support for Local Charities**: Proceeds from the gym will continue to support local charities, helping to address various community needs and strengthen local initiatives.
5. **Empowerment through Fitness**: Our programs will provide individuals with the skills and confidence to achieve their fitness goals, promoting personal growth and resilience.
Overall, Old Tyme Strength aims to build a stronger, healthier community while making a lasting difference in the lives of its members.
