A NOTE FROM MARK
SEPTEMBER 2023
Our leadership team at the Center has been reflecting on the last year. In doing so, we keep coming back to the amazing love and support we receive from our community, and how excited we are about the many new partnerships and participants who are experiencing our programs for the first time. We have increased our outreach efforts and the results are great. But often it’s you, our greater Riekes community who recommend individuals and organizations. We just wanted to say a big thank you to the great many of you who help get the word out about the transformational impact of what we do. You’re the best!

Riekes throwback photos throughout the decades! | |
In 1970, Gary Riekes injured his back playing football in his Sophomore year at Stanford, leading to multiple surgeries that left him bedridden. Throughout his 10-year rehabilitation, he learned about strength and conditioning techniques and about injury prevention. He took that knowledge, and became a private strength coach, opening a gym in his own home, which eventually led to the Riekes Center being born! | |
