About NativeFitness.org

We are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of Natives by utilizing our expertise in fitness, fitness management and wellness to help bring actual lasting change. We believe it’s time to rekindle the strength of our ancestors and break the cycle of diabetes and obesity that we find in much of Indian Country today. If we learned one thing from COVID-19 it is that we as a Native people cannot find ourselves in this position again where we are more vulnerable than the average American due to our health. Despite the grants, the funding being diverted into our Diabetes centers, fitness centers, along with funded programming it would appear that we are missing the mark! Our wellness facilities cannot be put in a corner with limited hours and say that we have wellness and then with limited use say that it didn’t work. Or in the case of tribes with considerable resources where the trend is to copy what is being done in the private sector larger gyms in terms of set up and yet still experience limited usage. Throughout our travels in Indian Country we have found that the challenge is real! This is not who we were as a people and this is not who we are today. We truly believe at Native Fitness that we can actually make a difference.
