THE BACON IS LITERALLY A FREE TWO-CAR GARAGE GYM, RUN BY VOLUNTEERS AND SUPPORTED BY PARENTS AND FOLKS WHO WANT TO SEE KIDS GET INVOLVED IN WEIGHT TRAINING. MANY OF THE KIDS ARE COMPETITIVE ATHLETES, AND TRAIN FOR THEIR PARTICULAR SPORT. A GROWING NUMBER ARE THEIR SIBLINGS WHO JOIN TO BE PART OF THE FUN AND CAMARADERIE. AND THERE ARE EVEN A FEW PARENTS WHO GET BIT BY THE BUG AND BEGIN TRAINING TO CHALLENGE THEMSELVES WITH SOMETHING THEY NEVER DREAMED OF.

PARENTS, RELATIVES, FRIENDS, CO-WORKERS, AND PEOPLE WHO WERE ONCE STRANGERS DONATE TIME, EXPERT ADVICE, EQUIPMENT, AND SUPPORT TO ALL THE KIDS. ALL OF THESE FOLKS LISTED BELOW GIVE UP THEIR TIME JUST TO TEACH / HELP OTHER PEOPLE’S KIDS, AND WE CAN’T THANK ALL OF YOU ENOUGH. COACH JENN HENRY, JOHN PAONE, JOHN DOERFFELL, MAT MANDEL, SHANE HUGHES, KIRK HOLT, BILL KEISTER, TOM AND BILL BACHMAYER, DAN HISLOP, ERNIE WINKLER, KEVIN HUNT, BOBBY BOWLIN AND HIS ENTIRE AWESOME CREW, ALAN ACURIO, MIKE KOBITHEN… AND OF COURSE KIM (THE SAINT) RUDY. AND SOOOO MANY MORE FOLKS THAT KNOW WHO THEY ARE. WITHOUT THESE FOLKS — AND MANY MORE — THERE IS NO BACON, IT’S THAT SIMPLE.

THIS IS THE BACON! IT’S AN IDEA, MORE THAN ANYTHING, THAT THERE’S AN OLDER LIFTER SOMEWHERE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS A GARAGE AND SOME OLD WEIGHTS AND WOULD LOVE TO PASS THE LOVE AND KNOWLEDGE ON TO THE NEXT GENERATION.

WHY NOT START YOUR OWN BACON?? YOU’D BE HAPPILY SURPRISED!
