Community Health Improvement Fitness Class - Fit to the Core Fit to the Core is inviting local, adult community members for a free fitness class

Local non-for-profit organization, Fit to the Core, is excited to host a free fitness class for adult community members of the Belle Haven and Ravenswood communities. This event will take place at Kelly Park, Soccer Field (100 Terminal Ave. Menlo Park, CA) on Saturday, June 12th at 10:30 am. The event is taking place in honor of “National Community Health Improvement Week”, a celebration for health professionals both in hospital settings and those who work more closely with communities. Attendees of the event should arrive fifteen minutes early and bring an exercise mat, towel and water. Organizer of the event, Tracie VanHook, will be leading the class. To keep everyone safe and to practice social distancing during the event, attendees will stand six feet apart from each other.
Founder of Fit to the Core, Tracie VanHook, has over thirty years of experience in fitness training and functional aging. Growing up in Oakland, CA, VanHook experienced first-hand the barriers and lack of opportunities for people of color to gain access to fitness programs and receive support for building a fit and healthy lifestyle. Tracie created Fit to the Core dedicated to helping others in her community gain access to professional fitness training and health education. Her vision is to create a world where everyone can age well, regardless of their age, underlying health conditions, ethnicity, background or economic status. “Today our mission is even more urgent than ever due to the hardships our communities have had to face during COVID-19,” VanHook says. “We are working to create quality, professional fitness programs that go a long way towards fighting the effects of COVID and reduce the impact of illnesses and chronic diseases such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes.”
Admission to the event is free and anyone over the age of 18 can join. Since there is a limit to the amount of people who can join the class due to COVID-19, those who are interested should reach out to Tracie VanHook at tracie@fittothecoreca.org or at 650-206-8660 to secure their spot.
