NewGrounds Fitness Details
NewGrounds Fitness is an innovative new non-profit based in Washington, DC. NewGrounds Fitness primarily works with the East of the River community in the Ward 7 and Ward 8 neighborhoods of Washington, DC. In Ward 7 and Ward 8 72.2% of the population is considered overweight or obese and 16.05% of the population has diabetes. The average household income in Ward 7 and Ward 8 is $34,000, which makes it very difficult to have the resources to afford a fitness program at the market rate. NewGrounds Fitness is working to address this health challenge by offering a high quality free adult fitness program. Participants will join the fitness program in teams. Forming teams will give everyone a network of support from teammates who are striving towards the same goal. Through dedication and hard work the goal of drastically reducing the number of people who are overweight and obese in the Ward 7 and Ward 8 neighborhoods of Washington, DC will be met.
