Project 👕

For 25 years, Personal Fitness Navigators (Wellness Center in Bexley, Ohio) has provided customized fitness and nutrition programs that nurture the mind, body, and soul. In 2016, PFN began working with women to implement a program within ORW Recreation Programming that supported them to improve their health and become health and wellness advocates. The program was life-changing for the women and t

he PFN team and helped PFN realize the true (social) value derived from translating a business and fitness experience into a social venture. This was the birth of Fit to Navigate (FTN). We exist to empower the human spirit for members passionate about emotional, physical, and social growth to drive community impact. We work with the body and mind using mindful movement, meditation, relationship-building via collaborative dialogue, and gratitude practices. Once interest is ignited, we provide training for participants to become nationally certificated and, in turn, teach others in their community, both inside and outside the prison. 95% of our wellbeing program participants, both in the community and inside the prison system, self-reported improved physical and mental health. Expansion beyond the prison: our participants facilitated a wellness workshop where 400 prison members donated to communities outside the prison system. When our participants re-enter society, they continue to stay in contact with us via closed groups. Our participants have added nearly $500,000 back to the Ohio economy/yearly, based on 100% employment rates/wages and 0% recidivism. We expanded our service to the disenfranchised during the pandemic, offering well-being practices to LGBTQ+ communities of color.

Vision& Strategy

Fit to Navigate imagines a world where health transformations and an enriched tribe are available to all who are seek it.

We intend to create that world by providing business and learning opportunities for those who wish to enter the fitness industry and receive relevant certifications both in and outside of prison.

We will implement our program through a training program inside the institution for incarcerated women. At the same time, we will instill the importance of entrepreneurship, personal growth, and relationship-building across two distinct populations.
