Organization Description:
Program Mission: EcoFit strives to make a sustainable impact on health disparities and chronic disease by offering cost-effective fitness and wellness services for underserved urban communities. Through the use of a cooperative of wellness volunteers and collaborations with local community organizations, EcoFit can effectively offer a vast array of fitness and wellness workshops in easily accessible locations to area residents including worksites, faith-based institutions and communal park spaces.
EcoFit wants to start a grassroots movement that will equip communities with the tools necessary to build new paradigms for impacting community health issues outside of hospitals, gyms, insurance companies and other industry standard options that have done little to improve the health of our communities in the past two decades and arguably longer.
EcoFit will focus on serving minority adults in low-income and urban areas, small to medium business worksites and urban communities with limited access to healthy fitness and nutrition alternatives.
