What we do

At MissionFit, we provide a safe space, resources for health and an environment for continued personal growth.

Youth Fitness Program

MissionFit offers free fitness classes to Baltimore’s youth ages 11-24. Participation in a consistent, positive fitness program helps our youth to develop confidence and self-acceptance, work ethic and important life skills such as goal setting, time management and accountability. Our youth come to MissionFit from nearby neighborhood communities, as well as through partnerships with youth development organizations.

S.T.E.P.
(Supportive Trainer Education Program)

Our S.T.E.P. program works to educate Baltimore’s future personal trainers and coaches. Participants work alongside a certified trainer to develop skills in safety and professionalism, fitness programming and client relationship and development. Upon completion of the program, participants receive the certification of their choice, fully paid for by MissionFit.

An Inclusive Fitness Community

We seek to provide an inclusive intentional community through a variety of classes open to the Greater Baltimore fitness community. Classes are made available at affordable rates. From drop-in rates of $10 to donation-based classes, our goal is to offer a space where community comes first, and profit is secondary.

MissionFit Youth Spotlight: Sage
Hey Wonderful World!Today is the last day of Community Week, and I couldn't think of a better way to close things out than to showcase Sage. Sage has been coming to us for a little over a year, is a fierce jumper-of-ropes, and has dedication and a smile that we could all learn from. Listen to her talk about jump-rope competitions (at the Apollo no less!), and what it's like being in 8th grade in Baltimore during quarantine.Thank you Sage for always bringing great energy - and we're looking forward to when this is over so you can teach us more than you already have!

Community Day 2020/ 5 year anniversary
Hey everyone! I hope you are staying safe and sane during these times! We planned to have our community day today but how we want to highlight the many wonderful people that make up MissionFit Baltimore took a slightly different approach! We hope that you stay tuned because our community day has now become a community week!The aim of this week is to show a small number of the people that have joined our family and that their message(s) in some form, resonate with you or cause you to reflect and grow in a positive way.Peace & Blessings,The MissionFit Team

STRENGTHENING
BALTIMORE'S YOUTH

People have been asking for memberships to our super awesome community gym for quite a long time, and we couldn’t open up our doors to everyone who asked because the gym would be so packed that it could interfere with our singular focus of Strengthening Baltimore’s Youth. After much deliberation, we have decided to open our doors for a few members so we can have the focus and space to welcome our youth.

If you’re interested in a membership please email Wes at wesley@missionfit.org
