Rick Muellenberg, Principal at Bangor High/Middle School (WI), shares how his school went from lifting in hallways to building a custom-branded, high-performance weight room that reflects the pride and identity of the Bangor community. What began as a safety concern turned into a game-changing referendum, driven by leadership, vision, and a deep belief in the role of athletics and strength training in education. With Matrix Fitness’ intentional school branding, every detail was designed to inspire student-athletes and celebrate Bangor Pride.
