Strengthening the HMX Fitness Center

A well-designed fitness center can motivate students to engage in regular physical exercise by creating a safe and fun environment in which students can challenge themselves in healthy ways. With that in mind, this grant funds the purchase of new, state-of-the art fitness equipment and technology for the Hommocks Fitness Center, including stationary bikes, benches, weights, medballs, and dumbbells. The transformed space will enable students to build their strength and confidence, while also preparing them to use the equipment available at MHS. The newly outfitted space will be utilized by the Hommocks PE classes and will allow students a much higher rate of active participation during those classes.
