When the recession hit,
it hit us fairly hard.
I've had to cut back on a lot
of things that we do for the
athletics.
You know, our biggest
challenges is making sure our
kids have all that they need
to compete when,
economically,
that's just a challenge.
To put together
a state of the art fitness
facility,
when you have HVAC systems
that are on the blink...there's
a priority.
Weight rooms are expensive.
You know, we know if they're
here with us they're safe
and they're doing something
worthwhile to better
themselves, and no better place
to do that than the weight
room.
Really,
in this community, like,
you have to,
you have to stay doing
something positive. I mean,
cause if you're not, you're
most likely to get in trouble.
We just lift, lift,
lift. Trying to get stronger
and faster.
I've been wanting to fix this
place up since I've started
lifting.
What would you change about it?
Everything.
Everything.
The Lift Life Foundation is
a nonprofit foundation,
and our mission is to find
underfunded high school weight
rooms across the country,
go in and bring these
weight rooms back to life.
We started painting,
today we got the flooring going
in, graphics going in.
We're unloading 130,000
pounds of equipment today,
all by hand.
We work so hard to
put it all together and then
it's like it comes to life.
Wow.
I didn't expect this.
This is over the top.
It's amazing. I've never lifted
in something this nice before,
so I gotta get used to it.
Oh my God.
It's world class.
State of the art.
10 times what we expected,
honestly.
This is tremendous.
There are entities in this
city that have a vested
interest in the well-being
of students,
and families,
and this is proof.
Someone walks into the weight
room I want them to see
the potential
and promise of what that
weight room represents.
Whatever they're striving to
achieve, that that weight room
is kind of a sanctuary for them
to go into and to put
everything they have to achieve
their goal.
