Our Crowdfunding Groups
What Is More Than 4:
More Than 4 is a group workout to help spread awareness for pediatric childhood cancers and to raise funds for the WVU Medicine Children’s Cure Kids Cancer fund. We need the community’s support to help these cancer warriors fight!
The “More Than 4” idea was born from the fact that only about 4 percent of grant research money goes to childhood cancer research. These young patients deserve more than this. Every day, in the United States, 43 children, ages 0-19, are diagnosed with cancer, and childhood cancer survivors are twice as likely to suffer chronic health conditions. We believe our patients deserve more than this.
Because We Can:
Ashley Kitzmiller, who is a founding member of PowerTen and a supporter of the WV Kids Cancer Crusaders’ Go Gold Virtual Challenge, inspired the More Than 4 fundraiser. The gym wanted to contribute and decided to create our own event to help increase the impact made in the community.
The PowerTen community is made up of moms, dads, young professionals, medical professionals, teenagers and anyone else you might know. They train in an environment built on Fortitude, Health, Integrity and Teamwork. You have to grind with a positive attitude and relentless effort to become fit. But sometimes you need a reminder to recognize how fortunate you are to have the ability to work out at will. Our minutes of “suffering” through an exercise are nothing compared to the struggles some of these kids and families face.
About PowerTen:
The PowerTen idea was established in a garage 2017 and came to fruition in May 2018 when it opened its doors as a full scale strength & conditioning training facility. Celebrating our 3rd year this past May, our community has grown strong both literally and figuratively. Our training methodology was born out of the functional fitness world and is established in the philosophy that our time in the gym will translate to the way we approach every aspect of our lives. Our gym core values are cemented in Fortitude, Health, Integrity and Teamwork and our mission is to Go Make a Difference by empowering human potential through the coaching of strength, mobility, and endurance.
Our fully coached group classes feature comprehensive goal based strength and conditioning programming that is progressive and safe for all levels. The PowerTen Training program is a non-specialized strength & conditioning program suitable for beginners and high level athletes alike. Designed to promote high quality movement efficiency, the PowerTen Program builds greater fitness by increasing strength, power, and general work capacity across different energy systems and movement patterns. We also feature an exclusive teen girls strength training session called PowerTeens.
