The Turning Point

Are you ready to support a triple minority owned business? Melanin Fitness Nation is here to create an impact in 2023 and we need your help to make that happen. We would love to share what all we have in store for this year!  

We are looking to raise $100,000 to help with several initiatives, offset program costs, help with marketing and branding, assist with raising awareness to people in our community, operating expenses and more. 

We have created a 12 week program that is like none other! It's a scalable, sustainable and mult-functional program that will help people of color(POC), allies in the community, especially people that do not have access to health and wellness coaches, as well as large corporations that want to jump start a new fitness culture and change work productions, provide a space for more creativity and foster a better work life balance. We also aim to help companies get employees healthy which in return will increase work interaction, productivity and foster better working relationships.  This is a 12 week long amazing experience filled with the following:

• 2 Dexascan Test (we have contracted a rate with a local small business for our participants) 
• Nutrition coach (participants will have access to a certified nutrition coach that will assist with tracking macronutrients, provide tips and tools for eating out, planning healthy meals at home and community resources to shop for food.) 
• Virtual Yoga Sessions (this will aid in assisting with the mind and body as participants start a new journey. This will help them over-time with range of motion, breath regulation, self-care and most importantly providing tools for relaxing when in highly stressful situations.)
• Virtual Therapy Sessions (this will assist with talking about your current relationship with food, eating stressors , how the body handles change, and how to embrace a new relationship with food.) 
• Fitness Coaching (All workouts will be provided and held online or in person depending the participants options. Coaches will be online during workout times to help engage with participants/clients and provide them with encouragement as they complete their workout sessions.
