Ways You Can Help with Hurricane Harvey Disaster Relief

We are thankful that our facility was not affected by the disastrous Harvey, but our neighbors in Houston cannot say the same. Many folks have lost their homes, gyms, vehicles, and more. It's inspiring to see everyone lending a hand (or boat) to help in any way they can.

We featured Mammoth Training Center in a Box of the Week a few months back, they are located in Rockport, TX. Their facility was left in shambles because of Hurricane Harvey. It was devastating to see what Harvey could do, but they are rebuilding and need your help. If you would like to help, here is their GoFundMe link: https://www.gofundme.com/hurricane-harvey-rebuild-mammoth

So surreal to walk around the rubble of the gym today after Hurricane Harvey. But had to hit overhead press today #noexcuses #mammothtrainingcenter #mammothtraining #rockportstrong #hurricaneharvey

If you or your gym was affected by Harvey, comment below with any links or info. There is so much we can all do, whether we're near or far from the disaster. 

If you're in the Texas Area:

• CrossFit Central is a local gym that we work with and they set up a GoFundMe account to help all of the CrossFit gyms that have been damaged and destroyed by Hurricane Harvey. You can donate here: https://www.gofundme.com/hurricane-harvey-cf-gym-rebuild They are also taking donations at either of their two locations – 702 East Third Street and 6205 Burnet Road. Also, come Monday, Sept. 4th they are having a community workout, open to everyone. Bring items and/or make monetary donations for the gyms in need. Details on their Facebook event.
