Matthew 16:25 "For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it."
We look at Hoka Hey twofold: As warriors willing to die for what we believe in and as men of God who seek the Lord by dying to ourselves everyday.
Hi, my name is Philip Craig and I love changing peoples lives through fitness!
As
part of growing up the only thing I ever felt connected to was sports. I worked hard to be the best at everything I did, especially on the football
field. Striving to be the best came at a heavy price with countless
hours of training, going over plays, and pushing my body to places few
people can go. This training encouraged me to graduate high school being
first team all league and got me a football scholarship to college
where I finished as an All American running back and received my BS in
Movement of Sports Science. From there, I was given a once in a life time
opportunity to travel to Germany to play in the European Football
League.
Coming back from Germany, I tried countless NFL
Combines where I just couldn't make my brake at the NFL. With failure all around me, one thing remained constant,
my work ethic, which the Lord left me with that changed not only my
life but changed other peoples lives too. This work ethic pushed me to
begin my own personal training business. As a trainer I was reliving my
high school/college career through athletes by giving them the football
knowledge I learned to get bigger, faster, and stronger and watch them
grow as I did.
Just as my training career started, so did my
CrossFit career. With crazy workouts, putting me on the floor, only
after 5 minutes of work, I found a new way to push my body and a new
way to implement athletes with training schemes and functional movements
they could not only use on any field but in everyday life as well.
After about a year of learning the methodology of CrossFit through the
workouts, I decided to take my new found knowledge and apply it to
everyday people to help them get fit, lose weight, compete against
themselves and to have FUN! A year later, countless pounds and countless
people have been changed due to CrossFit and Gods power to stick to a
fitness program and reach their goals.
That's where you come in.
With your donation I will be able to get my own building to share my
knowledge with countless people that want to get into shape, stay in
shape or just give them something to do. Each donation will bring me
one step closer to achieving a plan to help the obesity crisis, giving
children and kids activities and a positive environment to be in and to
be healthy. Fitness, health, camaraderie, family, and competition are
things I can bring to the table, all I need is capitol to make it all
happen. Please help me achieve a goal that I have set for myself, and
when I achieve my goal it can help you achieve your goal of getting in
shape! NOW GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND DONATE SO WE CAN GET TO WORK!!!
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS =)
What We Need
This is the breakdown of what we are asking for:
- Building ($5,000 Zoning Fee)
- Gym Flooring ($3,000)
- Pull Up Rig ($1,500)
- Gym Name Fee ($3,000)
- ANYTHING EXTRA WE MAKE WILL GO STRAIGHT TO THE GYM (WEIGHTS, DRY ERASE BOARDS ECT..)
These are the main obstacles we're encountering with opening this gym.
We have a building location that is perfect but the zoning needs to be reevaluated for a fitness center. The City will approve the zoning once the fees are paid and all the necessary conditions of the facility are met.
The Gym Flooring and Pull Up Rig come next. With heavy weight being lifted and dropped, we need thick rubber flooring that can absorb the shock. The Pull Up Rig is for doing Gymnastic movements such as Ring Pull Ups, Bar Muscle Ups and of course your regular Pull Ups and as well as being used for racking barbells for Squats, Bench Press and things alike when working out.
Last comes the Name of the Gym. We want to be affiliated as a CrossFit gym. There is a $3,000 fee that comes from the name alone.
If we don't reach the funding, we will keep pressing forward. I will do anything and everything it takes to make this happen with relentless drive. This is important to me, and I will make it happen.
The Impact
Bringing this fitness facility would make a huge impact on the community and the surrounding area. This is important because school athletes would have a place to workout to get better at their sport and get in shape as well as adults and young children within the city. This would give residents an in-town place and not have to drive far to get a workout in. Exercising daily will help us be healthy and give us better lives and fight against the American obesity crisis.
We make it easy on you by planning out the workouts at weight for your strength, make it FUN and most of all make it FAMILY oriented to come in and reach goals we never thought possible.
My family impact
My family is the most important thing in my life! I have a beautiful wife who is pregnant as we speak, and two handsome boys that are full of energy. My wife who is a homemaker works tirelessly to take care of my sons as I am working throughout the day. With your help I will be able to take my business to the next level and provide for my family through the success of this venture. The lord has provided so much for us and we use the talents that he has given us to empower others to reach their goals.
