🚨 WELCOME TO THE BAM FITNESS TEAM! 🖤💪

INTRODUCING…..Isaac Shipley

Hi everyone! My name is Isaac, and I’m really excited to be joining the BAM team!

I’m a certified personal trainer with CPR and AED certifications, and fitness has always been an important part of my life. Growing up, I was always active whether that meant playing basketball, football, taking walks with my mom and our dogs, or simply getting a workout in even on the days when I didn’t feel like it.
Over the years, that love for staying active has grown into a passion for fitness, performance, and recovery, and even more importantly, for helping other people become stronger, healthier, and more confident.

I’m currently working towards a future in the healthcare field, with interest in physical therapy, or physician assistant. My goal is to build my knowledge and experience so I can eventually help people recover, perform at their best, and live healthier lives!

Outside of the gym, I enjoy spending time with my family, riding dirt bikes, shooting sports, reading a good book and pretty much anything that gets me outdoors and enjoying life.

I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone, learning from the BAM team, and hopefully helping make a positive impact. I’m excited to be here and officially be part of the BAM family!

Help us welcome him to the BAM team 💪🚨

💚 DONATIONS ARE ROLLING IN! 💚

Our hearts are so full seeing the generosity of this community. Donations continue to come through our doors, and we cannot say THANK YOU enough to every single person who has given, shared, helped, or reached out. Every little bit is helping someone who needs it right now.

And a HUGE shoutout and thank you to Marlene Risch for stepping up and heading up our donation center! 🙌 She has everything organized, sorted, and easily accessible so we can get these items into the hands of people who need them as quickly as possible.

If you would like to DROP OFF donations:
Please get with Marlene and she will help you with where everything needs to go.

If you NEED to PICK UP items:
PLEASE, PLEASE do not be shy. ❤️
Come see us. Ask for help. Take what you need. That is exactly why these donations are here.

There is no shame in needing a little help, especially after everything our community has been through. These items were donated with love and with the intention of blessing YOU.

We are currently working on establishing designated drop-off and pick-up times to make everything run as smoothly as possible, and we will share those times as soon as we have them finalized.

Until then, please continue to reach out, share this post, and help us make sure the people who need these items know they are here.

Community taking care of community. That’s what this is all about. 💚

Our community has been through so much, and at BAM Fitness, we want to help in every way we can. 💚

We know that when you lose so much, sometimes it’s the everyday things you don’t think about until they’re gone.

That’s why BAM Fitness is accepting donations — and because we’re a fitness facility, we want to think outside the box about what families may need right now.

👟 Fitness apparel & shoes — men, women & kids
🏋️ Workout gear, gym bags & water bottles
🥡 Food storage containers, totes, bins & coolers
💚 And other items that can help someone begin putting life back together.

Please reach out to Marlene Risch with donations or questions. She will be organizing our donation center inside the BAM Fitness recovery room so we can get these items into the hands of people who need them.

But we also know that people need more than things right now.

Sometimes you need an hour where you don’t have to think about what was lost, what needs cleaned up, what comes next, or how you’re going to put everything back together.

Beginning August 17, 2026, we are opening our doors and offering FREE DAY PASSES to those affected. 💚

Come lift.
Come run.
Come move.
Come clear your head.
Come just take a hot shower.
Come take an hour for YOU.

There is absolutely no expectation other than signing our required liability waiver before using the facility.

We can’t replace what was lost, but maybe we can help carry a tiny piece of the weight while our community begins to recover.

This is our community. These are our people. And we are stronger together.

BAM Fitness is here for you. 💚🙏

🚨 BAM FITNESS UPDATE — 8/13/26 @ 2:30 PM 🚨

As of 2:30 PM today, August 13th, our gym is currently without power.

While we know many of you would still gladly get your workout in 💪, due to insurance and safety requirements, we are not permitted to allow anyone to work out inside the facility while it is dark and without power.

For now, workouts inside the gym will need to pause until power is restored. We will update everyone as soon as we know more.

Through everything happening in our community right now, we are incredibly thankful. At this time, BAM Fitness has NO water damage, and we feel extremely blessed for that. 🙏

Most importantly, THANK YOU to our members. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and for continuing to show what being part of a gym FAMILY truly looks like—especially when circumstances are outside of anyone’s control.

We are praying for everyone affected by the flooding, power outages, and damage throughout our surrounding communities. ❤️

No power. No water damage. Still incredibly blessed.

Stay safe, BAM family. We will keep you updated! 💚🖤

GYM IS OUT OF POWER!!!!!!

We will update everyone when it returns……

For now as of 1:05am we are unable to shelter anyone….

Please stay safe!

We are praying and will be of assistance anyway that we can ♥️

🚨 BAM FITNESS IS OPEN AS A SAFE PLACE FOR OUR COMMUNITY 🚨

With the flooding happening right now, we know there are families and individuals in our community who have been displaced, are without power, or simply need somewhere safe and dry to go.

BAM Fitness is opening our doors to anyone in need right now.

You do NOT need to be a member.

If you need a safe, dry place to sit, get out of the weather, charge your phone, use the restroom, take a shower, or simply have somewhere to go while you figure out what comes next — please come in.

And we are also ACCEPTING DONATIONS. 🤍

Some members of our community have not just experienced flooding — some have lost everything.

If you are able to help, we will be accepting donations of necessities such as:

• Clothing
• Shoes
• Toiletries & hygiene products
• Towels & blankets
• Diapers & baby supplies
• Bottled water
• Non-perishable food
• Cleaning supplies
• Pet supplies
• Gift cards or other immediate necessities

Please bring donations to BAM Fitness, and we will work to get them into the hands of people who need them.

If you’re safe and able to help, PLEASE SHARE & DONATE. Someone in our community may have lost everything overnight.

BAM Fitness is here. Our doors are open. Let’s take care of our people. 🤍🙏

Some people think a gym is just a place to work out.

For us, it’s so much more than that.

One of the greatest blessings has been watching Will’s life unfold right in front of us. We knew he trusted us long before he ever said the words.

He came to us before he proposed.
He came to us again before he got married.
He came to us before they shared the exciting news that they were expecting their beautiful little girl.
Then once again, he shared the incredible news that they were expecting a little boy.

And today, just over a week after he entered the world, we got to meet the newest little addition to the BAM Fitness family. ❤️

Moments like these remind us that what we’ve built has never just been about workouts, memberships, or lifting weights. It’s about people. It’s about trust. It’s about celebrating life’s biggest moments together.

When someone feels safe enough to invite you into the most important chapters of their life, that’s something we never take for granted.

We’re incredibly thankful for Will and his beautiful family. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey.

This is why BAM Fitness is more than a gym.

It’s family.
It’s community.
It’s a culture of people who genuinely care about one another.

Congratulations, Will! We love you guys and can’t wait to watch your family continue to grow. 💙

P.s. look at that proud dad smile 💪
