Chronic disease has been linked to 7/10 of deaths in the US, and includes both affluent and lower income communities alike.
Low income communities are more vulnerable to chronic disease and illness due to lack of adequate resources like healthcare, nutritious food, social support, and financial resources.
Moreover, communities of color are disproportionately experiencing this cycle, which all but magnifies current systemic racial disparities.
Our gym sits right in the intersection of the four metro Atlanta neighborhoods of Summerhill, Peoplestown, Mechanicsville, and Pittsburgh. 380 families here live under the poverty line (over half the families in the community) and over 60% of the population is Black/African American.
These gaps hinder not only health outcomes, but also economic, social, and generational potential for families, communities, and our entire nation’s future.
Such injustice seeks to strip individuals of their God given potential, vitality, and dignity.
BUT THERE IS HOPE!
Physical exercise has been shown to not only prevent chronic illness, but has residual effects on children and families.
Parents who exercise have healthier babies and more physically active children, which in turn prevents mental and physical illness, it improves academic and other developmental markers–setting children and families up for long-term success.
So what if EVERYONE had a personal coach to help them obtain health and vitality? What if they were shown love and mercy along the way? What would happen to our families? What would happen to our kids? To our workforce? To our society?
Noble Clay is our mission to find out.
WHAT'S THE MISSION?
In the spirit of our name, we believe it’s Noble to:
WE LOVE WHAT WE DO AND IT SHOWS ON THE GYM FLOOR.
