Bloor Street Fitness & Boxing COVID-19 Relief Fund

Dear Friends of Bloor Street Fitness

 
For the past 25 years Bloor Street Fitness has offered an inclusive, dynamic and fully equipped fitness facility for the community in Toronto's west end. Started as a boxing gym to help at-risk youth stay off the streets. This later became known as the B.A.D.G.E. (Boxers Against Drugs Guns Everywhere) program which runs weekly and is free to the youth in our community. BSF also became home to the Shape Your Life program, a free trauma informed, non-contact boxing program for people who have experienced violence. These programs along with our 24 hour gym, yoga and free fitness classes are the core of our offering and the heart of our gym, which has grown into an amazing community of staff, members and local supporters.
 

The COVID pandemic has hit everyone hard, especially clubs like ours, that were forced to close. Thankfully, we have been given the green light to re-open in the near future and we are implementing the safety measures to keep our members safe and our programs running successfully. However, we are in need of your help and that is why we are reaching out today. 
 

During the shutdown our revenue stream stopped but our bills did not. We are still expected to pay rent and utilities during the shutdown and that has caused an extreme financial burden that will not be made up the moment we reopen our doors.

For Bloor Street Fitness to stay viable, we need to raise $80,000.00 dollar by Aug 1st 2020.  We have created a GoFundMe page where you can donate to help keep the club a vibrant part of our community.

 
Your generosity is sincerely appreciated. 

 
Thank You!
 
The Bloor Street Fitness Team
