Our purpose is to provide holistic lifestyle changes through fitness. NewBML currently offers fitness classes at PS.15 for the staff, teachers, parents and surrounding neighbors. NewBML currently has an After School Sports and Wellness Program in PS. 15. We provide Cure To Obesity classes at the Community Center. Lastly, NewBML provides a free Health and Fitness Day for the community of Jersey City.
This organization was created and built on what I didn’t see in my community which was access to fitness, alkaline water and healthier foods. I live in Ward A and we have a massive food desert, high obesity rate and over 30% of my neighbors are suffering from diabetes and/ or high blood pressure. A Culture of Health would allow for people to realize how important it is to exercise and eat correctly.
