RUNNING HOME

90K in 90 Days

Some paths have a way of bringing you home.

This fall, Detroit Body Garage is moving back to Kercheval—just a few blocks from where our story began in 2016, and just down the street from where my family's story began generations before.

Over the next 90 days, we're raising $90,000 to help us get there.

The work has already begun. Construction on our new home is underway, and over the next 90 days we're raising $90,000 to bring it across the finish line. On September 30, we'll leave our current space and continue training together through pop-up workouts while we complete the final details and prepare to welcome everyone home.

But this campaign is about so much more than a move.

Detroit Body Garage has never been defined by four walls.

It's been defined by the people inside them.

Over the last decade, we've watched strangers become training partners, training partners become lifelong friends, and members become the kind of neighbors who show up for one another long after the workout ends.

We've celebrated first pull-ups and first 5Ks. We've hosted family workouts, Sunday suppers, youth programming, community fundraisers, and stocked our Little Free Pantry. We've watched movement become a pathway to confidence, connection, and belonging.

We've spent the last decade proving that wellness belongs in every neighborhood. Now we're building the place where that belief can live for generations.

$5,000+
Becomes a cornerstone investment in the future of Detroit Body Garage, creating a lasting community wellness hub for generations to come.

Every dollar raised beyond our $90,000 goal allows us to do more. More equipment. More youth programming. More family wellness. More community partnerships. More opportunities for Detroiters to move, connect, and belong.

This isn't about surviving a move. It's about investing in the next decade of impact.

Detroit Body Garage has shown what's possible when wellness is rooted in community. We've built a place where people feel seen before they feel strong, where relationships matter as much as results, and where everyone has a place.

Now we're inviting you to help build the place where that work will continue.

Because strength is a community practice.

And some paths really do have a way of bringing you home.

Thank you for helping us build ours.
