Donate to help The Block Maui’s Staff and Members

Donation protected
Aloha everyone. This is Tyler, I am the owner of The Block Maui.

Myself, the majority of my staff, and a countless number of our members have lost our homes and pretty much everything else.

This account is set up to help our incredible training staff and members who have been left houseless, unemployed, and forced to relocate.

If you know us.. you know our Ohana has and always will be our #1 priority. We are asking anyone who is able to please help us take care of and help our Block Ohana.

Our prayers go out to those who lost their loved ones and everyone else who has been affected in this disaster. We will find a way through this together.

I love you all.

**UPDATE**

With our first round of funding we were able to help our training staff as well as some of our members with their financial obligations, as well as help 14 individuals pay for their gym membership fees to various gyms throughout the island.

**NEXT PHASE**
Goal: $100,000
$50,000 for our membership fund to cover the membership fees for any many members as possible. If we exceed our goal of $100,000, 100% of the extra donations will be going into this fund.

$50,000 will be to help cover the costs of renovating our space and replacing the equipment we were encouraged to replace due to smoke/soot damage.





We are now switching gears to help get our facility up and running again and take the proper steps to ensure that we have a safe and healthy environment for everyone to workout in, as well as raise money to allow us to cover the membership fees for as many members as possible to ensure everyone has the opportunity to train. These steps include getting our facility professionally cleaned by fire restoration specialists, repainting and sealing our walls, replacing our turf, rubber flooring, dumbbells, medballs etc that were damaged by the toxic smoke and soot that filled our building. Unfortunately due to our back door being damaged, our facility was not sealed and allowed our space to be filled with debris.

Restoration/Replacement plan:

As of 11/13 our facility has finished being professionally cleaned. We are now working on getting new turf, rubber flooring, and paint delivered, installed and completed to be able to do a soft reopening while other equipment is being shipped. Painting will begin on 11/18.
Our official reopen date is scheduled for January 1st 2024.

*FREE BEACH WORKOUTS*
Until we are able to reopen, we have started free community beach workouts for anyone that would like to join us! These happen weekly on M/W/F @8AM, as well as Tuesday @6:15AM at airport beach in Kaanapali. Weights on limited so please reserve your spot through "The Block Maui" app.


We are extremely grateful to be one of the lucky businesses that still have our building standing. With this opportunity we are dedicated to give back to our community by rebuilding our space that so many of us considered our second home. We want to be an example that there is a light at the end of this tunnel and we can get through this and come out even stronger than we were before. Our goal is to build a state of the art facility that our members can be proud of.. a place that represents the resilience and dedication of our community. A place that brings us together to work towards bettering ourselves so we can work together on bettering our city.

We can't do this alone, and that is why we are asking for your help. We were not properly insured and we have put basically every dollar of profit back into the gym throughout the past year to create something special. If you're someone that has visited you probably noticed what I'm talking about. Our members are everything to us, they're Ohana. This is for them.
