- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- The challenge I see in my community is that a lot of young people (like kids under 18), older working adults, and people with disabilities don't have access to fitness programs and are more at risk for health concerns.
- What is the solution to the challenge?
- One way to solve the problem is to provide a free service, which may be for kids, adults with disabilities, or anyone who can't afford a program (i.e., a gym membership or personal trainer) that hosts group exercise events and fitness advice. This would allow residents to have a fun opportunity that also benefits their health /physical well-being. The trainers would be volunteers who would get volunteer hours. Maybe host it at a local school gymnasium.
