Maskyot provides a warm home, love, social interaction, a sense of direction and all-embracing personal attention for each student on an individual basis.
In the course of their learning an exciting process of personal strengthening takes place. This process develops in stages with the use of various experiential means such as: the music room, gym, gardening, workshop, petting zoo and stable.
The gym, which is open around the clock, is the basic means for the students to prepare themselves physically for army service in select IDF units.
The gym enhances both the self-confidence and self-image of students with poor physical capabilities, and in this manner enables us to best prepare them for combat service and maintain their health in an environment of safe, professional and available training.
Moreover, the gym is open at night also for the local residents of Maskiot, and serves as a social meeting place connecting the school with the community.
To our regret, the gymnasium is set up in a caravan that is in dire need of renovation and lacks diverse training equipment, a proper floor and air conditioning.
In order to respond to the needs of the students and local residents, the gym is in need of an upgrade.
Structural renovation includes: Entrance door, Wall coating, Electrical cabinet, Lighting system and outlets, Windows/ shutters, Floor carpeting, External wall repairs and two air conditioners and installation.
Training equipment needed: professional treadmill, weight set + apparatus, crossover weight machine, upper pulley + lower pulley, universal press couch, sit-ups machine, chin-ups/ pull-ups bar and Smith Machine/ bench press.
