Who are we,
(in their own words)
We are a group of 17 women with different personalities, backgrounds and ideas, with other commonalities other than a prison sentence. We have changed our lives through fitness and wellness with a desire to share our knowledge and motivation with those who are experiencing the same misfortunes that lead to our current incarceration.
Hundreds of women come through these gates daily, beaten, broken, addicted with little to no self worth. Most do not understand or even realize what looking with even means and that process of change starts within.
Our goal is to become certified personal trainers with a mission to help other in our environment to overcome adversity and circumvent a new outlook on life through fitness, nutrition, and overall wellness.
In 2016 our group was blessed with Rokki. She is a CPT and business owner who decided to dedicate her Fridays afternoons to teaching us everything that she knows. Her lessons go far beyond the realm of personal training. Rokki had been our guiding light in a very dim world.
Almost 2 years later, we have certified several women with the funds that have been donated. We still have several women left to certify, but the one road block still stands in our way. The funds to do so. We don’t expect sympathy or a free ride only a bit of understanding, that we are change the world from where we are now. We don’t have the monetary means to pay back a loan, but we do have the motivation and heart to help give back to our community in a way that is needed the most. We want to give women a reason to care about, for themselves, and everyone around them. We want to pay it forward by instilling hope in those who are at the end of their rope.
The women that have taken the test have a 100% pass rate. We are looking to continue this momentum with your help.
Here's just one story from a one of the transformational women in our FIT for Life/Mind.Body.Gem
“ I have been incarcerated for 19 years and fitness saved my life. Teaching has become the biggest joy, because I have been able to give back and do what I love the most. It is so fulfilling to see these women come to life and discover their power and beauty. If I can help just one person, then I’ve accomplished everything - Stephanie
