United States of America

Urban Perform to remove all Gym Deserts by remodeling abandoned spaces in low resourced communities where obesity and hypertension are ramp it. Urban Perform began because residents in English Avenue asked for a safe place to exercise. In January 2012 they officially opened their doors in the shared space of a church with a focus on youth fitness. Due to community involvement they quickly added Zumba and group fitness classes for adults. Over the course of the last 2 years they have grown significantly due to community members attending the $2 classes (kids under 18 exercise for free) a grant from the Atlanta Falcons Youth Foundation GoodSports the annual Casino Night fundraiser and individual donors.
