Will train for food

Will train for food

You can get a great work out in with a certified personal trainer all for the price of a can of food. A local trainer is hosting bi-monthly runs in the park and only charges a food donation to Second Harvest.

 

Brian Krupke is a certified personal trainer through the National Strength and Conditioning Association and is a Level I Crossfit Coach. He started hosting the running club in Riverfront Park in order to promote the new gym, Inland Northwest Fitness, that he and a couple other trainers are opening. But Krupke didn't do it just to make some extra cash.

 

“I want it to be about than just making money,” says Krupke. Enter the fee: a can of food. Krupke decided that making a food donation would be a quick and great way to make an impact both with those who show up to train and with the larger Spokane community. As he puts it “everybody needs to eat”.
