Hi! We are Lora Bleijenberg and Chris Rojo, and we are co-owners of On The Ball Fitness On The Ball Fitness is a small and inclusive gym that serves clientele of all fitness levels, physical abilities, and ages. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted our ability to support the clients, independent trainers, and community that we are so deeply passionate about. In spite of the government restrictions currently prohibiting our full operation, our landlord is unable to provide any rent relief. As we only work with independent contractors, we also have not been able to qualify for any government relief. We have managed to float these costs for the last five months, however, we are unable to continue covering rent and operating costs without the ability to bring in revenue. We are asking for the kindness and generosity of family, friends, and strangers alike to help keep our dream alive.
The Backstory
Chris and I met 8 years ago working as independent contractors at another fitness facility. We both previously had been employed at big box gyms and were still in search of our “dream fitness” environment. We quickly discovered how well we worked together and had the same vision in creating a space that would make people not only want to better themselves, but to be a part of a special community.
Our priority is keeping a clean and sanitized environment so that we can keep everyone’s immune systems as strong as possible. Our gym has become a home away from home for not just us, but our clients, and the amazing independent contractors that choose to service their clients at On The Ball Fitness. Our goal is to survive the pandemic so that we can continue to pursue our dream of keeping our community fit, healthy, and living their best lives.
The Costs
100% of all proceeds will go to covering our rent. In donating to our gym, you’re supporting not just us, but the 12 independent contractors and over 150 clients whom we serve!
