Hi, my name is Zechariah and I'm a personal trainer in Washington, DC. I started my business “Iron Chain Fitness” in 2020 (during the pandemic) with very few resources. I was able to purchase some equipment second hand and the rest I purchased new (out of pocket). I'm very fortunate to have steady clients. I'm now focussed on expanding my business and offering more to them. I would like to upgrade my facility (rubber floor mats, deadlift platform,etc) , equipment (new rack/weight stand), and purchase new fitness equipment that I could use for instructing outdoor group classes in the spring (kettlebells) . It's my mission to introduce fitness/exercise to as many people as possible. I don't expect the gofundme to pay for everything I need, but anything is helpful and appreciated.
