Phase 1 completed
To immediately enhance our student-athletes' training, we've completed Phase 1 of our weight room upgrades, investing over $30,000 in essential free weights. This includes a comprehensive selection of dumbbells, kettlebells, plates, fixed and curl bars, straight bars, along with plyo boxes and two convenient resistance carts – all now available for their use.
Looking ahead
The remaining weight room renovation requires a comprehensive approach. Once the necessary funds are secured (with new, durable flooring representing a significant portion), we will undertake a complete transformation. This includes emptying the room, installing the new flooring, and purchasing permanent, state-of-the-art equipment such as new weight stations, cable machines, a dedicated turf workout strip and deadlift platforms.
Support
The Okemos Athletic Boosters plays a vital role in connecting our community with our athletic programs. We invite you to join us in strengthening this foundation by contributing to the 2024 Booster Legacy Project and demonstrating your unwavering support for our student-athletes.
Our fundraising goal is $250,000, and achieving this will rely heavily on the generous support of our community. We are eager to witness the collective spirit as our community rallies to invest in the future of our athletics programs.
While our recent Winter Gala was a successful step towards this goal, you can still contribute to help us reach our target. Your continued support is invaluable.
This ambitious renovation, born from Athletic Director Ken Hintze's initial vision and refined through valuable feedback from all varsity coaches, is poised to be a game-changer.
This top-tier strength equipment – specifically selected for Okemos High School by Design2Wellness (formerly Strengthio Fitness) and provided by Dynamic Fitness & Strength – will elevate the training experience for every athlete and team for the next 10 to 15 years.
The following video, presented at our Winter Gala, powerfully showcases the transformation achieved in Phase 1 alongside the existing needs for further weight room improvements. You'll also hear directly from our coaches and athletes about the impact these upgrades will have.
