F45 Training and Magic Johnson Enterprises join forces to help over 4,000 kids in underserved communities
F45 Training has partnered with Magic Johnson Enterprises (MJE), founded by former professional basketball player and entrepreneur Earvin “Magic” Johnson, to promote health and fitness among children and teens. The collaboration aims to encourage lifelong habits of physical activity and well-being by distributing more than 4,000 F45 Fit Kits to youth in underserved communities across the United States.
Tom Dowd, CEO of F45 Training, emphasized the importance of introducing healthy lifestyles at an early age. “At F45 Training, our goal is for members to feel better and more confident about their fitness journey. However, we also believe in instilling healthy habits early on, especially for those who may not have access to gyms or at-home options,” said Dowd. “This partnership with Magic Johnson Enterprises marks a significant milestone as we donate over 4,000 Fit Kits, and we look forward to impacting even more lives.”
The F45 Fit Kits include fitness equipment such as jump ropes, agility ladders, and cones, designed for engaging, age-appropriate workouts that promote flexibility, strength, and coordination. The kits will be distributed to various organizations, including the LA Dodgers Foundation, The Washington Spirit, The Washington Commanders, The Boys & Girls Club of Burbank, Greater Washington and Whittier, and the Crenshaw YMCA.
Magic Johnson, Chairman and CEO of Magic Johnson Enterprises, highlighted the shared mission of both organizations. “Partnering with F45 Training is the perfect way to provide kids in underserved communities with the tools and programs needed to reach their fitness goals,” Johnson said. “Through this initiative, we aim to inspire young people to develop good habits that will carry them into adulthood.”
The partnership focuses on several key goals:
- Promoting Healthier Habits: Providing tools to help children embrace physical activity and mental well-being as lifelong priorities.
- Strengthening Communities: Collaborating with local organizations to ensure equitable access to fitness resources.
- Inspiring the Next Generation: Encouraging youth to set personal health and fitness goals.
