Impact Fitness Foundation

Here is a little walk through of Manual Arts weight room in downtown LA! Thank you again Jill Becher and Los Angeles Sparks and Perform Better for helping make this dream a reality for these student athletes! https://lnkd.in/eHpnKGxH

There are over 22,000 high schools in the United States. Unfortunately for the majority of these schools this is what the weight room looks like. Does this get you fired up to get better? This is why IMPACT Fitness Foundation exists. This is OUR MISSION! Time to MOVE FITNESS FORWARD!

We have a school in southern Maryland looking for some love!! If your company is interested in helping this school out or you know of someone that would be interested in hearing more, please let us know! SPREAD THE WORD and help Parkside High School get a new Weight room!!!

Time lapse from our trip out to LA with Anthem Blue Cross and Los Angeles Sparks team members! Together we can do great things!!

Last week we unveiled the new weight room to the student athletes of Manual Arts High School in Los Angeles. Thanks to the hard work of our amazing volunteers from Anthem Blue Cross and the LA Sparks this weight room came back to life! Now it��s time for these student athletes to PUT IN THE WORK and KEEP MOVING FORWARD!

Every renovation is followed up with a fitness clinic for all coaches and staff interested in the new space. These clinics give an overview of the why and how of piece of equipment. Most coaches do not have formal fitness training or certifications, so we want to help! To go along with the clinic, we offer an 80 page, fitness guide that gives a deep dive into movement, nutrition and overall wellness. This is where we are today, but there is too much more to come!! KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!

TOGETHER We Can Move Fitness Forward!!! This is an amazing video of or Irvington Preparatory Academy project that aired last night on Fox Sports for the Elevance Health Women's Fort Myers Tipoff in Florida! These projects can not happen without amazing partners like Elevance Health and the awesome employee volunteers that showed up to transform this space! The staff at IPA was one of the best we have partnered with! This is how we bridge the gap at these schools! A weight room is so much more than just a place to lift weights and move�� It is a safe place to LEARN, GET STRONGER, GROW TOGETHER and my favorite, LEARN HOW TO FAIL! If we miss this, we miss the opportunity to truly Get STRONGER! Thank you Irvington Prep! Thank you Jill Becher and SHANNON LOECHER for making this a reality! So thankful and blessed! #keepmovingforward #nonprofit

Small steps can lead to big leaps in advancing whole health and health equity. Last week, we at Wellpoint Maryland got to partner with Chris Welsh, founder of Impact Fitness Foundation, in installing a state-of-the-art fitness center at Washington High School in Somerset County, Maryland. It was so much fun and incredibly meaningful to the students, staff, and community. I wish I captured the moment that students got to see the new space - the smiles and energy were electric.
