10 YEARS AND GOING STRONG
During the month of April, Healthworks is committed to raising awareness about the Healthworks Foundation. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Foundation as well as the ground breaking of the second Healthworks Foundation Fitness Center.
WHO WE ARE
The Healthworks Foundation is a non-profit organization currently
touching the lives of thousands of women via its community outreach
programs and the St. Mary's Fitness Center - a non-profit fitness center
for women and children, located in Dorchester's Upham's Corner.
HOW WE DO IT
In a commitment to its foundations endeavors, Healthworks Fitness
Centers, Inc. directs one percent of all membership dues towards funding
for Healthworks Foundation. The Foundation Fitness Center
relies on a volunteer team of Certified Personal Trainers, Nutritionists,
Group Exercise Instructors, and Fitness Consultants.
We thank the Healthworks members and sponsors for creating healthier and
happier lives for hundreds of Healthworks Foundation recipients in the
greater Boston area.
"GROUND-BREAKING" NEWS
Currently, the Healthworks Foundation is working towards the expansion
of its outreach efforts through the development of a second non-profit
fitness facility slated to be built in Dorchester's Codman Square, one of
the largest and most diverse community's in Boston. The Codman Square
Fitness Center will specifically target the fitness needs of children as
well as continue to meet the needs of women.
A revolutionary youth center at Codman Square; is approximately 2,500
square feet, and will offer fitness programs designed to help get youth in
Dorchester moving. The center will offer the latest and interactive
solutions to help get youth active - as obesity and associated diseases
