We partner with local organizations to bring inclusive, free workouts and wellness programs directly to their members, fostering a culture of health within each community. Our programs include free or low-cost teacher training, empowering individuals to become wellness leaders equipped to serve their communities. By creating sustainable pathways to health and fitness, we work to make wellness an accessible, integral part of every community we serve.
Why Our Work Matters
Chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart failure account for 70% to 90% of all healthcare spending in the United States. Yet, only 5% of healthcare spending is allocated to prevention through primary care. The vast majority of funds are directed toward treating problems after they arise.
This imbalance has led to a decline in the number of primary care physicians and physical therapists, creating a domino effect: higher healthcare costs and delayed care as people wait until issues become severe.
As healthcare becomes increasingly unaffordable, prevention strategies like regular exercise and social activations can play a critical role in reducing the risk of life-threatening complications by 30% to 50%.
The Fit In Wellness Collective aims to address this crisis by making prevention more accessible. Our goal is to lower healthcare costs for underserved communities while improving the length and quality of life for all.
