GIVING BACK

BMOVED FOUNDATION

We strive To move, first the bodies BUT ultimately the hearts and minds of young men. We aim to help them find their greatest potential through Athletic & academic ACHIEVEMENT and character growth.

BMOVED begins in the gym, but grows into life. Our goal is to support our youth from their formative years into young adulthood; helping them make wise decisions and keeping them in a positive mental and physical space. At BMOVED, we are cultivating future citizens, community members, fathers and leaders. We start in the “gym” for one, simple reason: research shows that boys tend to understand the language of physicality from a young age.

Our program is designed to go beyond the physical body. The gym forms an important foundation for our mentorship and guidance, but the habits they develop there carry beyond the gym into everyday life. The outcome? Boys in our program become attuned to their bodies. The reward systems in their brains get focused on small, incremental victories and they learn that while nothing worthwhile comes easy, and nothing that comes easy is worthwhile. They learn that effort matters. They learn that asking questions is a sign of confidence, that it’s okay to be introspective and strong. They learn to appreciate a brotherhood that crosses socioeconomic boundaries and develop well-earned self-respect. These lessons help them be their best in a wide variety of situations, and brings their discipline out of the gym and into their lives and everyday interactions.
