Current Impact
January 1st 2021- December 31st 2021
In 2021 we put all of our efforts into virtual fitness and certification testing. This resulted in some amazing traction and program development. First we signed a contract with PBS.org to write, film, produce and deliver multiple youth fitness episodes which aired nationally and are hosted on PBS website (search for Fight For Hearts). Next, we realized that we wanted to try different virtual fitness formats and we started a youth virtual fitness services which we named The Spinning Orange . We finally got back to in person classes with our community partners in the Fall of 2021.
