Women's Barbell Classic with Raise The Bar Initiative
A demonstration of strength through all ages! 8 yrs to 70+. Bench and Deadlift fundraiser for free strength programs for Junior High/High School girls in Des Moines area.
Strength assists us in all aspects of life. And the ability to live the life we would like to enjoy! I (Meaghan) have participated in this event for 5 years now after watching it in 2019. It's a fun event and a reminder strength training is such a powerful tool through all life stages.
In some ways, this event also impacted the creation of Aspyre. We saw a need in a community and population that makes it difficult to have access to opportunities for movement.
The benefits of strength training go further than lifting heavy. Health benefits, yes. Along with feeling if accomplishing something that day, creating goals to work toward, brain and cognitive benefits of learning something new.
It can be done from home with minimal equipment or your own environment! We serve Carroll, Audubon and Crawford counties bringing personal training to the older adult.
