Help Us Rebuild Our Beloved Fitness Center After Devastating Fire

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

With heavy hearts, we share the devastating news that our beloved fitness center has been severely damaged by a fire. What was once a place filled with strength, laughter, progress, and community now stands quiet—charred walls and melted equipment where determination and connection used to live.

This fire didn’t just destroy a building—it struck at the heart of a place that meant so much to so many. It was where early risers came to start their days, where transformations took shape, where friendships were born, and where goals were chased and achieved. For some, it was a second home. For others, it was a lifeline.

We are still coming to terms with the full extent of the damage. At first glance, it appears that nearly all of our equipment is a total loss. More heartbreaking still, we’ve learned that we are severely underinsured. What insurance will cover is only a fraction of what’s needed to rebuild what we’ve lost.

But we are not giving up.

This fitness center was built on determination, resilience, and the unwavering spirit of a community that believes in lifting each other up—literally and figuratively. We are already exploring every possible option: renting, rebuilding, or even buying a new space. Whatever path we take, we are committed to bringing the fitness center back to its former glory.

We’re asking for your help.

Every dollar raised will go directly toward replacing the equipment, securing a new space, and getting back to what we do best—serving our community’s health and wellness. We know times are tough, and not everyone can give. But even a share of this page, a kind word, or a message of support means more than we can say.

We built something special here. And with your help, we’ll build it again.

Thank you for believing in us. We won’t stop fighting for this dream.

With gratitude,

Hankinson Health Club
