The 56% Initiative is STRATA Fitness’s in-house organization with the goal to give back to the community of Springfield, Ohio.

What is 56%?

56% represents the amount of women who were assaulted in the gym in 2021, according to a study done by RunRepeat.com. Additionally in that study, it stated that 92% of gym assaults go unreported, naturally making that number higher than 56%.

What will STRATA do?

As you can see, we placed 56% on the front of our first ever created shirts worn to the Arnold Classic 2026. This was the biggest conversation starter to open up the discussion around women’s safety… All STRATA merchandise sold with “56%” on the product will donate 56% of the profits to local battered women’s shelters in Springfield, OH. Those who do not wish to buy merchandise but still would like to support - a donation link will be provided once the merchandise drops. (100% of all donations made towards the 56% initiative will go directly into that separate fund).

This is just one small way we are able to give back to the women in our community. Stay tuned for 56% merch coming soon!
