Each One, Pay One. Pay It Forward.
Sponsor part or full coaching access for someone who wants Strentor coaching but faces a financial barrier to getting started. Or, if that's you, apply for sponsorship support.
How Sponsorship Works
Pay It Forward is a straightforward mechanism: a sponsor contributes toward the cost of coaching access, and Strentor allocates that support to a vetted applicant who needs it. The sponsor isn't buying a specific person's program off a list — they're contributing to a pool of coaching access that Strentor directs to where it's needed most.
The applicant, in turn, doesn't receive cash. They receive coaching — structured programming, trainer support, and the same standard of adaptive strength coaching every Strentor athlete gets, funded in part or in full by sponsorship support instead of out of their own pocket.
The name captures the intent: each person who is able to sponsor, sponsors one. It's a direct, practical way to extend access without turning coaching into a charity program.
Nothing about this changes how coaching is delivered. A sponsored athlete works with the same trainers, follows the same programming standards, and is held to the same expectations as anyone paying for coaching directly. Sponsorship changes who covers the cost — it doesn't change what's coached, or how seriously it's coached.
Who Can Sponsor
Sponsorship is open to individuals, companies, and community groups. An individual can sponsor a single session or a full program. A company can direct part of its CSR budget toward a sponsorship pool. A community group — a club, a workplace collective, an alumni network — can pool smaller contributions together toward one or more applicants. There's no minimum group size and no requirement to commit beyond what you choose upfront.
Who Can Apply for Support
Support is intended for people who want Strentor coaching — adaptive strength training built around real physical circumstances — but for whom cost is the barrier standing between them and getting started. If you're ready to train and finances are the obstacle, this program exists for you. There's no separate application track based on condition or disability type — the criterion is financial need, not diagnosis.
Sponsorship Formats
Full Sponsorship
Covers one applicant's coaching access in full for an agreed period, so they can begin training without any cost barrier.
Partial Sponsorship
Covers a portion of coaching access, with the remainder paid by the athlete. A practical middle ground for many sponsors.
Sponsor-a-Session
Contribute toward a set number of coaching sessions rather than an ongoing program — useful for a one-time contribution.
Corporate Sponsorship Pools
Organizations contribute to a shared pool that Strentor allocates across multiple applicants as part of a CSR commitment.
Review and Allocation
Every application for sponsorship support is reviewed by the Strentor team before any coaching access is allocated. We look at need, readiness to train, and how available sponsorship funds can be used fairly across everyone waiting for support. This isn't a heavy bureaucratic process — it's a reasonable check to make sure sponsorship support goes where it's needed and is allocated responsibly, session by session and program by program.
Sponsors are never asked to review or approve individual applicants. That decision sits with Strentor alone, which keeps the process consistent and keeps every applicant's information out of a sponsor's hands.
When sponsorship funds are limited, applications are prioritized by need and by how ready an applicant is to begin. When they open up, applicants who weren't allocated support the first time are kept in consideration rather than asked to start over.
Dignity and Privacy, By Design
Applying for sponsorship support means sharing some personal and, at times, health-related context with us so we can assess your application fairly. That information stays private. It is never published, never shared with sponsors, and never used outside the review process without your explicit consent. Sponsored athletes train alongside every other Strentor client, with the same coaching standard and no public labeling of who is or isn't sponsored. Pay It Forward is built to extend access — not to put anyone's circumstances on display.
Corporate and CSR Sponsorship
Organizations looking to sponsor coaching access at scale — as part of a CSR budget, an employee wellness initiative, or a broader inclusion commitment — can set up a corporate sponsorship pool with Strentor. Visit our corporate page to see how companies partner with us.

Pay It Forward sponsorships are not currently structured as tax-deductible donations. They are sponsorship contributions toward coaching access, not charitable donations, and no tax benefit is implied or promised. If this changes, it will be clearly communicated on this page.
