American Raw Fitness LLC

American Raw Fitness is a family owned fitness center in the heart of East Valley.  Our focus is strength, local athletes, and educating the community through movement.

We are home to many accomplished strength athletes, high school and collegiate athletes, as well as First Responders and military.  Our family is strong, connected, and loyal to one another.

This is a very difficult request, as many are going through hardship.  But the ability for me to keep the business afloat with the doors closed is diminishing quickly.  I’m seeking financial aid to assist in keeping the business alive long enough to open the frontdoors again.

It’s a huge blow to the community, and it breaks my heart to lock down.  So many utilize our space to elevate as athletes, to better themselves, and to stay mentally sharp as they tackle difficult days.  We have a strong reputation for putting others first, and for staying strong despite outside circumstance.  With factors currently out of our control, there are members of our team including myself, that feel lost.

Many of our members are still providing fees, without access to the gym.  It speaks volumes.  But I’m afraid with full closure, we won’t make it through.  It appears we may be asked to remain closed into June.  I’m praying for Federal Aid, but it appears we may be lost to that money along with many other businesses

I’m not asking for more money from our members, their current support is more than enough.  However, if there is anyone in the community that can help keep our dream alive, please consider us.  It’s a home away from home, and a family to many in our valley.

Thank you,
Christopher Knight
