Mission/

In 2007, Maria Kang founded Fitness Without Borders, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. FWB is devoted to the development and fitness education of community leaders organized in a unified effort to foster healthy children. We work primarily, but not exclusively, in underprivileged neighborhoods, in order to build self-reliance, health, and capacity.

Team

 Our team is made up of our board of directors, regional managers, advisory board, experts, online admins and local leaders.

No Excuse Mom Groups: We have mobilized thousands of women throughout the world who are hosting free workouts in their local parks for free. We strongly believe that health starts at home and that in order to raise a healthy child, you must be a healthy parent. In just 8 months we have over 300 groups in 25 countries.

Our goal is to instill a collaborative effort between students, teachers and parents to engage in fitness activities to improve overall health and physical fitness standards. Our objective is to provide 250-300 students an opportunity to increase their state’s physical fitness tests in strength, endurance and flexibility through before school programs, nutritional workshops and parental participation in FWB’s Leadership Academy. This program is funded by federal grants foundations and is currently active only in the Sacramento region.

C.O.R.E. Clubs: C.O.R.E. stands for “Coalition of REAL ENERGY”. This is a play off of the Law of Thermodynamics, in which the key to weight loss is calories in and calories out. Real Energy is not found in a magic pill or cup of coffee, real energy is inside all of us and is created through action. Our “Core” is also the foundation of our body’s strength. This is the arena where all strength derives from. Our C.O.R.E. club is a high school fitness club, in which we help foster an unintimidating, support environment for students of all athletic levels. We help program events, assist in grant-making/fundraising, and support students who need mentorships and fitness guidance.

Family Transformation Program: FWB understands that in order to make long-term change, it’s vital to target the home environment. In this program, families commit to a 60-day, educational and exercise intensive boot camp. This has been FWB’s most successful program so far, with many working out together and making fitness strides as a family. This program usually begins in early January, when momentum to achieve fitness goals are high. A fitness instructor meets with the group once a week and an assistant works with their diet and exercise planning throughout the week.
