Weight Room Upgrade

Dollars Raised

About the Fundraiser

What is the Fundraiser?

The Football Booster Club is raising funds to replace the weight racks in our weight room, a crucial upgrade for our McCallum Athletics department. Newer, space-efficient equipment will enable our athletes to train more effectively and reach their full potential.

What are we buying?

New-to-us racks are being purchased to increase workout stations. This allows more athletes to train at the same time. 

Where are we buying?

PURE Fitness Innovations specializes in refurbishing commercial-grade fitness equipment in Peoria, IL.

Where are the current racks going?

The current racks will be donated to Lamar Middle School.

Benefits Current Athletes

The weight room is available to all McCallum athletes. Nearly every athletic program at McCallum uses this facility on a regular basis

Increases Capacity

The weight room currently has single-side racks, which limits usage. Replacing the single-sided racks with double-sided racks increases capacity by 33%.

Benefits Future Athletes

The weight room is used during the summer Strength and Conditioning camp open to middle school students.

About the McCallum Weight Room

 

Current Weight Room Layout

Future Weight Room Layout

The refurbished double-sided racks will be placed in two rows of 5 in the center of the room.

Double-sided racks are space-efficient, allowing two athletes to use the same station. This improves our athletes’ experience, allowing more athletes to work out simultaneously.
