The Two Bridges Fitness program has launched and online fundraising campaign until September 30, 2018. Every dollar we raise will be matched up to $10,000 and up to $1,000 per individual donation.
In the Two Bridges neighborhood, over 40,000 people call this place home and live in NYCHA, and mixed-income housing. The population is rapidly aging and residents are in need of low-cost, health and wellness programming to stay fit and healthy. Our fitness classes are offered to the community free of charge and engage residents of all ages, including the elderly. We offer Tai Chi & Qi Gong, Zumba, Yoga, Boxing & Self-Defense and also partner with the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation’s Shape Up program.
Participants find a sense of routine and encouragement, as well as calm, in the midst of a neighborhood that is rapidly changing. Newcomers, often become regulars, and regulars often become ambassadors, encouraging friends, family, and neighbors to join. The Two Bridges Fitness program has become an important health asset to many people who live and work in the neighborhood as it not only provides physical health benefits, but social and mental health benefits as well.
