LEXINGTON, SC FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS DONATES $98,013.16 TO HELP FIGHT COVID-19.

 

“Why are we doing this whole thing? I mean our phones have been blowing up. There are a lot of people afraid. The whole country is afraid. The economy is crashing. People staying home, out of their workout routine, unable to relieve stress and unable to stay healthy. We have been receiving calls from everyone in the industry asking who can keep stuff in stock. This is not a normal Sorinex high end custom build rack. It is not the best rack we have ever made. It is a wartime rack. We needed something inexpensive to help us give back and give us the ability to donate to help fight Covid-19 the only way we know how, through innovation.”

Bert Sorin, President and CEO of Sorinex Exercise Equipment

All of the profits of the Sorinex Off-Grid™ Rack (a solution to help people train at home during quarantine) from April 2nd to April 19th have been donated to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy on behalf of Coaches vs. Covid-19 Fund. This is a fund started by Strength Coaches and supported by Strength Companies all over the country. With an original goal of $30,000 they have currently raised $64,090 for the CDP COVID-19 Response Fund.

The Off-Grid™ Rack launched on April 3, 2020 selling nationwide. For the first day, a rack was sold every three minutes, and three days later there is no slowing down. Due to the high demand, Sorinex was able to hire local restaurant employees who have been laid off and use the help of other local manufacturers to generate local business and help with the economy.
