LEADERSHIP

We have achieved, by virtue of a grass roots community movement, a resurrection of the community-based programs and services that have been enjoyed by the Sarasota community for more than 70 years. In September 2019, the community surmounted numerous global and secular challenges because of the many dedicated, persistent members of the Sarasota community who refused to allow the Sarasota and Palmer Ranch branch facilities to perish. These branches are considerably more than “gyms” or “fitness centers.” We differentiate ourselves by offering innovative, comprehensive wellness and community outreach programs that afford members of the Sarasota community the opportunity to reach their full potential in terms of fitness, wellness and community engagement. Our mission is the amplification of broad-based, multi-generational community education and wellness. Through strategic community partnerships and innovative programming, we intend to expand our reach to unserved and underserved members of our community to enhance their physical, emotional and social well-being.

You support this cause by simply being a member. You serve as an ambassador when you invite your friends and neighbors to visit for themselves to experience all of the wonderful programs, activities and fellowship that we have to offer. Volunteer opportunities to support your Sarasota community through programs and initiatives are legion.

Our leadership is committed to preserving this cherished community asset by addressing its capital needs and developing educational initiatives that meet the needs of the community. Our intent is to enhance the Sarasota community for decades to come with the support of dedicated community member partners like you.

Sincerely, Your Board of Directors
