JIM white's community fitness foundation
The mission of Jim White’s Community Fitness Foundation is to go beyond the business offerings of our operation and give back to the Hampton Roads community. Here at JWFNS, we have been blessed with God-given talents that we use to help our clients lead healthier and more fulfilling lives. Our goal is to continue to find and develop ways we can use these talents to help our community be stronger and healthier.
Jim White's Community Fitness Foundation programs include:
The Fitness Angels Program: Bringing the gift of wellness to people in need
The "Fitness Angel" concept has developed into a community outreach program that helps low-income people in poor health conditions learn to live and achieve healthier lifestyles. Our Fitness Angels Program will be randomly accepting applications from people in our community in need of nutrition and exercise expertise and motivation at absolutely no cost to them. The Jim White Fitness & Nutrition Studios trainers strive to help people above and beyond financial gain and career enhancements. We feel that being “selfless over selfish” is the way to live and we value that as human beings. We will offer free nutrition counseling, personal training and gym membership for a month to help them reach their goals. We are all about changing lives! No matter who you are, we are here to help!
If you are interested or know someone who could be a possible candidate for our Fitness Angels Program, please send us your contact information, date of birth, photo and a brief description of why you think you or someone you know would be a perfect candidate for this program. Candidates will be chosen based on health, financial condition and overall needs. Apply by sending the required information to info@jimwhitefit.com. Let us be your Fitness Angels!
Second Annual "Lose Your Weight—Lose Your Clothes" Clothing Drive:
April 1, 2010—August 31, 2010
Here at Jim White Fitness & Nutrition Studios, we have helped hundreds lose thousands of pounds. Our clients have dropped so many pant and dress sizes that they often need new clothes that fit properly! That’s why we decided to hold our annual clothes drive to kick off our Summer Boot Camp season in April! So many families right here in Hampton Roads don’t have the clothes they need, especially in today’s stressful economy. Our Clothing Drive, from April 1st, 2010 through August 31st, 2010, will benefit the Goodwill and Salvation Army organizations. Please help us clothe people in need by bringing unworn, lightly used clothes to any of our JWFNS locations during normal business hours.
Thank you for your participation! Give back with JWFNS!
Third Annual "Healthy" Food Drive: November, 2010
Come join JWFNS raise 1,000 pounds of food for the Southeastern Food Bank this holiday season! Our goal last year was 800 pounds and we reached it. So this year, let’s step it up by collecting 200 more pounds! During the month of November, please bring in non-perishable food items to any of our JWFNS locations during normal business hours. Help give to back our local community in the battle against hunger. Our Third Annual Healthy Food Drive will begin Halloween, 2010 and end on Thanksgiving Day, 2010.
Thank you and remember to think “Healthy Foods!”
Second Annual "Stuff the Hummer" Toy Drive for CHKD: December
From Thanksgiving to the night before Christmas, we will be holding our Second Annual "Stuff the Hummer" Toy Drive benefiting the children of Children’s Hospital of the Kings Daughters. We are working with CHKD to be able to hand deliver each new toy to a child at the hospital. Please help us contribute to this great cause this year and bring a smile to a beautiful child.
Thank you and help us give a child a better holiday season!
JWFNS Scholarship Foundation Teams Up with Access Scholarship Foundation
Everyone at JWFNS feels we have a great opportunity to raise money for young adults who want to enroll in Exercise Science or Dietetics as a career. Our program will provide students scholarships to assist them with their tuition in either wellness field.
Feeding the Hungry
Team JWFNS will be making every effort to feed the hungry in Hampton Roads. We’ll be working through a variety of established community-based programs, so locations will vary each quarter. Since health is our main mission, each meal that is prepared and served for the less fortunate will include whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. That way, the meals won’t just taste great, they’ll provide an added element of nutrition. In addition to teaming up with community-based programs to feed the hungry, Team JWFNS will be feeding individual families in need during the holiday seasons by providing Thanksgiving and Christmas meals.
If you are interested in partnering or volunteering with Team JWFNS in any of our community outreach programs, please contact us at info@jimwhitefit.com.
TEAM JWFNS Supporting Community Events
Over the last 10 years JWFNS has supported and sponsored various community events including charity races/walks, fundraisers,charity auctions, organizational projects and educational programs. We have formed co-ops with many organizations and will continue to help out programs in need. If your interested in co-oping or teaming up with JWFNS please contact us.
Going Green Program:
Helping improve our environment and being an example to make environmentally aware choices by going "green" at our studios. As of November 2009, the Jim White Fitness & Nutrition Studios took steps to be more eco-friendly. We now use cleaning products that are all-natural and non-toxic. We also promote recycling and take steps to conserve energy. We hope you are excited about the changes we have made to provide you with a more environmentally-friendly gym!
