=============================================
Major Jeffery Dorman of the Anderson Prep Academy has always urged his students to hit the weights after school, but kept running into the same argument time after time. "Why would we come here and work out?" the students asked. "The equipment's no good, so we won't get results even if we go."
Major Dorman, a coach at the public charter military school in Anderson, Indiana, couldn't refute their argument without being a hypocrite: He had been working out at a local commercial gym in town for the very same reason.
"I realized that if I was going to try and be a salesman for what we have here, I had to be our number one customer, too," he says. So Dorman cancelled his gym membership and started training at the school's facility.
Dorman knows that when it comes to playing sports, strength and conditioning can be the great equalizer, helping to make up for a lack of size or talent. Growing up, he played sports even though he was smaller than most kids his age. During his freshman year in high school, his coach pulled him aside and asked him not to play; he was so small that they feared for his safety. That prompted Dorman to start training, and his body responded by growing bigger and stronger. He learned an important lesson, too.
Dorman wanted to transfer that feeling of empowerment to his own students. Yet that subpar gym was an obstacle to competing with other schools that had better facilities. A patchwork of old and new equipment included handmade pieces to mismatched bumper plates. Old kegs filled with sand or water were scattered around, a DIY attempt at training with imbalanced loading.
Enter Bodybuilding.com's nonprofit organization, Lift Life. The goal: to transform the rough-hewn gym at Anderson Prep into a facility worthy of its student athletes. Out went slippery flooring; in came turf for pushing sleds. In all, 130,000 pounds of new equipment was hauled into the gym over two weeks. The end result embodies Bodybuilding.com's "We Change Lives" slogan.
This is the third weight room transformation led by the Lift Life foundation-the first was in Firth, Idaho, and the second was in Knoxville, Tennessee -but it's definitely not the last. We're already hard at work for our fourth project in Livingston, Montana. If giving young athletes a head start in life is as exciting for you as it is for us, you can donate to the Lift Life Foundation or nominate a school to be considered for a future renovation.to be considered for a future renovation.

This is absolutely touching changing lives is the greatest feeling 🙏🏼
This what we need in my school we had our gym equipments especially the weight room he had since 2004
My high school got a weight room and was renovated the year after I left. Whole school got the full works: Air conditioning, digital classrooms with smartboards, etc...
I'd be so ticked if I was a senior the year they remodeled it lol
Roy Hicks 😂
Funny thing is is that just happened to me....
Roy Hicks luckily at my school it was already remodeled, but the best part is we can workout there after we graduate since it’s a private school. They might have a similar thing
My schools is worse than that, they did not need a remodel.
@@josesilverflame6162 That is deadass happening to me right now. Just had my last day of highschool as the groundworks began for an entire new gym building.
Johnny Sins is everywhere
Prathamesh Ahire omg dude 😂
Its Moby.
lmfao

I wish weightlifting was a thing in my high school. Guys had to do soccer, girls handball, there were no options, so I grew up thinking I hated sports and exercise in general. A decade later I discovered I was a gym rat, but it makes me sad to think of all the time I wasted. I'm happy for these kids, I hope they appreciate their new gym.
María Celeste I can relate to that so much! During Elementary and middle school, males were forced to play soccer and females voleyball, and honestly i hated soccer even to this day! Being a really skinny kid during my wholelife, i kinda got used to the idea of being that way for ever. But ooohh boyy.... i found the joy of lifting almost 2 years ago, and im getting bigger and bigger as days go by (natty of course).
María Celeste ahah soccer. i feel you bro, i hate that sport too, i find the sport too "soft"
Jamal Taousse it is, every proper game is 90 minutes of pretending you're hurt
El Homo lmao right. when i play and the referee is not looking i kick guys in the balls, walk over them, tackle them hard, push them. and that's the kind of contact i like, but nobody wants to play with me tho... kinda sad
Jamal Taousse explain yourself on why it's not please
that crummy gym is 10x better than mine
BDGaming right 🤦🏼♂️smh
Yep
My school's gym is somehow better
Same
Ya my gym has a bench and some free weights that's it
I would love to have a gym in my school . Wow. respect for that good work
peasen. I guess I'm lucky
peasen. what high school does not have a weight room espically if theirs sports my high school has 3 weight rooms
Damn, my school has only 2 small basketball courts and 2 small football fields :D
peasen. Where do u live
Slovakia, lmao there is no way that we will ever have a gym at our school
i love the shitty look the weightroom had.. idek why
Ty Brimm if you were in it irl cause I go there, it looked worse
Now we go there every Monday and Wednesday to the weight room I can't wait for tomorrow
Ty Brimm same bro, there's really nothing else like an old, rusty, and worn out weight room. Idk about u, but it really gets my blood pumping
Rocky balboa type shit man, grit, punching cow carcasses.
Ty Brimm it makes u feel like ur at the bottom and makes u want to go up
Lift Life... your crew is amazing... you've brought so much hope to these young people, the school, the community.
Thank you, we'll let them know
29:08 let’s talk about that squat...
rafael moraes Zeroo
Watch him be like
"250 squat one rep max full range of motion"
rafael moraes it’s a box squat. Different depth levels
Jackzilla 76 no
@@jackmcavinew9470 your right. I watched it a couple of times and you can see the flat bench in the previous frame.
27:25 Woman leaving the fountain.. dabbed?? Lol
I love these videos so much. I love that yall are giving back to our kids. I wish I had seen these videos sooner and they all deserve more views than what you have. Keep it up!
Tears, just tears. Congratulations to Anderson Prep & Bravo to the Lift Life Foundation!
You think thats crummy?? You should take a look at the public schools gym in my town... About 5 or 6 bootleg machines, rusty weights, no lights, to some schools that gym at the start of the video is pretty good...
Blake Liberi well where I live, we don't have weight rooms. I wish we had one
That sounds like your school didn't have much, but can we try to just be happy for the kids in the video given that they went from a 2/10 weight room to a 9/10? Not to knock on your experience, but just trying to be happy for others rather than sulking on our own?
Agreed
@@paulkim195 No. Rather sulk.
Yeah exactly my school has to do fundraising year round for sports so we can still be actually playing a sport
26:20 hahahahaha probability the first time she has ever stepped foot in a weight room😂😂
Tilden Atkins haha that funny but fucked up at the same time 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂👌🇺🇸🏁🤘
they were happy to have a water fountain. humbled. awesome job
29:07 Elgin Intensity: "zeeroooo"
It's so awesome to see the impact that you guys at the Lift Life Foundation are making in these communities. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your content on this channel!
Tuition for Anderson prep is 53k and is rated as the best high school in the country yet can’t finance their own weight-room remodeling??
David Warburton Indiana
Literally just going into pockets, not even to any facilities.
@@JohnnySins69XO private schools bro, that's what happens
Wacamac100 some tbh, but mine schools facilities are pretty nice
Best high school in the country? What ya smoking bro? Go to suburbs of Indy or up in Ft Wayne for money schools
It's kinda funny because now it's just a shitty school with a kickass gym😂
Brian Kid 🤦♂️ I go there
Brian Kid I go there 😂😂😂
I Used to go there lol and yes it’s shitty
Brian Kid you right
Mrponcho HEY NOE
I can relate with their thoughts on the need for the gym I have started a weight training class and made big gains. Not only is it for your body, but lifting is for your confidence. When your making gains and seeing improvements in your body not only do you have more of a motivation, you have something to stand behind and lift your chin higher.
this channel is really underrated for the content they make
swag monster nope this also has a lot of shit as well for what they D OK so it compensates whatever it is and then these guys deserve what they actually do
Thanks Swag Monster!
swag monster a they have 1 million subs
Logan Franklin they arent underated you dumbass hater
so what their gym a little crusty it has tons of equipment and is really big for a high school gym
ggsplat that gym was TRASH. they deserved that upgrade.
my school weight room needs an upgrade
RiseUpFalcons If you think that is bad you should see ours
Wait my schools weight room is the size of a regular cafeteria
Btw...why are they doing half reps on purpose...
My high school (uk) had a good gym. I left there at 16 years old in 2014. Now im 21 and still going to that gym as they made it open to public memberships a year later
Good work guys..... hats off... helping those in need is the best deed which can be done.... may god bless you all
Damn my HS had nothing like that so props to those kids now they get a quality gym. I wish I knew about weight lifting in high school. Cheers
+Sir 7 cringe
Sir 7 majority are fat because of diet though doesn't matter if they have weight lifting in gym
TheFunky Donut well weightlifting and exercise can make you loose fat and gain muscle but still be unhealthy like you said because of diet
@@thefunkydonut5705 but if you have good diet and can lift like me
26:44 these kids better not be getting taught kipping pull ups
Rimex omg I thought the samee
Rimex I doubt it at a military school, this kids just being a dumbass
Lol that's why there all weaklings
@@Mario-mz6qm Doesn't actually build strength
I like these transformational videos of high school gyms. Keep up the good work!
Best appreciation to those guys who made this wonderful gift for students
26:57 "My favorite part is the grafic.." Looks like it :D
Benjamin CH damn😂
we have a decent weight lifting room in our school we dont have logs or different types of bars but we do have 6 squat racks and 6 platforms, kind of rusty but i still love the smell of oil and rust every morning.
plus that gym that you guys had was still better then planet fitness
Ya Boi Alex hey same after a goody day at our highschool gym your hands smell like rust and metal out gym was built in 99 but you can tell it's aging a bit
Same
@@Bryce-gf9gu when you drop the bar rust dust falls off nothing better I love it
This is so amazing what y'all do for these schools and kids
What people don't realize is that weight room was used for our gym class too. When we had PT for AFJROTC we would sometimes use the gym. That forced the gym class to the weight room. It was two small closed off rooms joined by a door where they ripped the walls down. Everyone has used that room. I'm so glad its fixed up.
24:10 if you want to see the finished product
Too bad it's gonna be mostly used for the football team to circuit train lmao.
Batzii ATX no , Everyone uses it trust me i attend apa
Batzii ATX nope us middle schoolers go every Monday and Wednesday's
You must be the life of the party...
Lmao this school never wins a game every year football isnt their priority
they went 0-10
Great Job!! I am going to gym myself and its really great what youve done there!
Wow amazing im so blessed that my school has a dedicated athletics weightroom and rigorous academic standards compared to others this is excellent
I'm not crying they're your tears.
Why tf are you crying?
This is like a much doper version of home makeover
3 years later and I'm still watching...wow.
I could say this The most amazing video that I have watched on RUclips in very recent time of my life. This video honestly inspired me to do many things with my life. Also taught me the meaning of humanity. Long life for (life lift)
I would never want to go to a military style high school. I feel like it would take some of your childhood normality away from you.
Yea but it teaches disipline and teamwork which is key in many good jobs
This highschool same near lame asf
lego indiana jones people can learn that by themselves they don’t need the school to teach them that
@@realfuckingstevefromminecr9573 might as well go early college
For MaximillianMus you’re not going to do very well in college if you didn’t learn discipline. My cousins never had any discipline and they dropped out of college.
THIS IS AMAZING!!
I want a gym like this at my school too :(
F1 Joker
We have one in our school but we never get to it !
Cool to see, my HS used to have an ok but outdated weightroom with equipment from like the early 90s, so stuff was rusting, cracked, whatever, but they ended up switching with the wrestling team’s room which was bigger, got a row of squat racks, new weights, dumbbells, and just overall updated equipment. Now the teams seem to becoming more competitive and stronger in general, simply because they enjoy and have a nice weightroom to go to👍
truly touching video lift life y'all are awesome just amazing be very proud of what you do and are doing for so many
This is beautiful. THIS is what our tax dollars should be going to. Bring my fellow men and women in uniform home and let's start investing in our kids today!
Blue Ribbon Bounce Houses I go to this school
Blue Ribbon Bounce Houses education and health
Blue Ribbon Bounce Houses maybe they should go towards heath care so when you go to hospital you don’t have to pay hundreds of dollars
Sorry, but no. Tens of thousands of tax dollars do NOT need to be going to high school weight rooms. Maybe public parks and recreation areas, but I would have trouble justifying anything terribly outlandish even there, since people are assholes and will find a way to trash them no matter how much work is put in.
Bro that's a jrotc instructor
It looks to me like these kids are not being trained well.
He wants them to go heavier before they have the technique down.
dan quags02 yep, they should work on the basics first. they probably don't even know how to structure their training
29:07 lol that "squat"
Max Mustermann he is pushing them to lift more and their technique sucks
29:37 rip his knees in 2 year.. These guys really didn't get the correct lift education
It looks like your hairline is not being trained well either.
Watching this makes me more thankful for what I have at school
So glad i decided to take weight training in high school junior and senior i think it was one of the most useful classes i ever took.
16:55 Jablinski games! Oh, wait nvm.
It bugs me way too much about the way they have their plates facing.
Michael Tobias that’s how they’re supposed to face, lol
Lol pet peeve is when people don’t put weights back where they’re suppose to go
Omg OCD
Straight outta Africa and I know its let but I'm in tears, so happy for this guys
I live in Indiana and I go to North Central High School and our weight room is as bad, everything torn and way outdated. Im in multiple sports and the JROTC program here and that requires lots of time in the gym. I love working out and it helps with anger and anxiety. Good to see a fellow Indiana school get treated so well.
>when they bench the same amount as they squat
If u thought this weight room was bad you should see ours
It is amazing work and amazing that you guys remodeled their high school weight room, but they need to improve there forms
With an old school Universal gym in my old high school, we'd have been in heaven to have their old equipment. I hope these kids realize how fortunate they are and what a good thing these folks have done for them...great job Lift Life.
14:12 what is wrong with the guys in the grey shirts left arm
Jesus Christ
AJC Fitness Super Gainz💪
probably tore his bicep previously
He probably is a war veteran.
I was just thinking about why his vain was so big lol
My high school weight room is 1/4 the size of just one of their rooms with 3 racks that have cracked weights and no room at all and yet we can't get any money for it but this school does...
that guy is so positive about what he has and proud to have what he had
my school has a gym room but no equipment
28:00 trump 2.0
omg you're a genius
Trumps long lost brother
did you see what was on his phone
Lol
lol
Thank you! When we can support our youth we are building a better future a better America. God Bless
It's acts and things like this that make me love more than just the sport. It also makes me love the people behind the scenes. these people are hero's to those teens. hell, they're hero's to this one right here.
At 27:25 smh she dabbed😂😂
26:40 is that a pullup ? lmao
I grew up in a small town of 2300 people in Indiana. Our high school housed many smaller towns in the area. We didn't have a big weight room. When I was a student, they had 70-80s equipment in the 2000s. Later on they removed most of it and replaced it with squat racks and only a few basic cable machines and rubber coated dumbbells up to 75lbs. I came back as an adult and worked out with the kids a few times and inspired many. All it takes is a good atmosphere and better coaches.
First video I've actually seen from you guys and I actually watched all the way through the end. You got my sub already considering it's 31:11 I would've went to another but something about this inspired me wow just wow
next is to hire a personal trainer because damn their form on just about everything is horrible, especially that leg press!!! 29:38
@S Phung That is the thing. First time using equipment is one thing. But being taught wrong by the instructor for god knows how long is another.
So that’s not how you use it?
Will Brown don’t lock ur knees
Will Brown he locked his knees, you can break your legs doing that, or dislocate your knee or whatever it’s called I’m not medical smart
Almost threw up watching that
13:03 thank me later
Skip to 24:20 if you're a busy person
This is so awesome I got goosebumps and I want to cry
my school has a old school style weight room up in a attic type thing and i honestly love how 'old' and 'bad' it is idk.
and then you see IMG
Michael Torres ya they are insane
4:06 dAmn he is fine tho
When I was a junior the San Diego chargers redid our entire weight room. Not the biggest fan of the team but the players were unbelievably nice and friendly
Bodybuilding, what an wonderful work guys, beautiful, keep doing the good work
Is that blaha in the back? At 26:51
He's the bitch in the front
Hi
yo
Yeah when i was done with high shcool i joined the army in my last year. Surgery and illness followed but i keep the core of the army in what i do not gving up cronic pain and fatigue. At the end of it i push past what i or anyone says i can do. Dont wanna live limited. I worked out with a small weight room. And mostly did body weight and more
I teared up at the water fountain part. This is some good stuff
Why is there no Gym in my school?
NightKnight are u in jr high or elementary
NightKnight cuz u r skinny bitch xd
Daniel Sosinski bruh u look like u weight 140 pounds u shouldn't be talking
That moment the guy with anorexia calls you skinny

bro if they saw my gym i think they wouldn't even try to do a makeover....that gym fas perfect already
Wow this video was so much better than i expected
This school is in my city. I am so surprised to see such a wonderful thing to happen to this school! This is a community that doesn't have a lot of positives that come from it, and this is one way that people are working hard to change this community for the better! way to go APA and way to go Lift Life!

@3:43 Powerlifter spotted
?
29:38, Why would you even buy these kids equipment when the fucking coaches can't even teach the kids proper form, the kid is doing leg press and pushing from his fucking toes.
I attend this school it's fine how it is just leave it up to the pros
Props to the adults and props for the kids. Use or lose it tho, gifts come at a price and that price is to keep it looking good and to honor the place
Glad that my high school rivals in town finally have something they deserve. Best of luck to my Friends at APA, can't wait to compete again.

26:42 Crossfitter spotted! 😆
Lool
This is awesome to see my highschool weight room was actually worse so I hope one day I can give back to my roots
I don't why anyone would give this a thumbs down. It's a wonderful thing! More foundations should do things like this! Anderson Prep Academy is a great school! They not only teach students academics. But, they teach them to be good citizens and help their nieghbor. They did us, and we will never forget it. They deserve this for all they do for the community.

Before is 10 times better than my school in Australia stop complaining

Gyms in high schools honestly make athletes so much better, the impact is huge. Our high school just got a weight room my freshman year and over the summer I gained 25lbs.. definitely a privilege for most schools
I love that they use what they have
My high school's weight room was remodled during the summer, it was much needed.
Respect, love what u guys are doing
I would die to work for Lift Life Foundation! I love helping others and I love fitness
Great job guys. Awesome.
I would have loved to be able to have a gym like this in high school. I would be a better and bigger man today!
