Healthworks at Codman is now open!
A portion of all
Healthworks Membership dues goes directly to the Healthworks Foundation,
which operates Healthworks at Codman and Healthworks at St. Mary's.
The Healthworks Foundation Fitness Centers offer fitness and health resources to
low-income women at the St. Mary’s Women & Children’s Center in Dorchester
and at Codman Square in Dorchester.
Healthworks is expanding the mission of the Foundation to include the fight against
youth obesity with the Codman Square project.
Healthworks
at Codman Update:
Construction on
Healthworks' new Foundation Fitness Center at Codman Square is now
completed! The new site features a state of the art 9,000
sq. ft. co-ed youth fitness center devoted to helping prevent childhood
obesity among Boston youth. Additionally, the site will continue to support
the health and wellness needs of low-income women. Please visit
www.healthworksfoundation.org

How can you support the Codman Square Project?
While
Healthworks has received a significant amount of support from various
donors, grants and our members, we still need help to complete the Codman
Square Fitness Center project. If you’re interested in supporting the fight
against childhood obesity in Boston and promoting great health for
low-income women, there are several ways to support the Codman Square
project:
#1 - Monetary Donations
All
monetary donations will go directly towards new equipment and programming
costs.
#2 – Equipment/Supply Donations
The
Codman Square Fitness Center is in need of the following new items for the
center:
* Toys
and Books for the Nursery
* Potted Plants for the Locker Room and Reception
* Nintendo Wii System, Components or Games for Kid’s Fitness Center
* Office Supplies including Multi-Purpose Copier and Computer Printer
* Small Refrigerator and Microwave for Staff Room
* Durable Plastic Bins for Organizing Nursery and Kid’s Center
* Any other new items that would support women and kid’s fitness and health
needs
#3 – Volunteer Your Time
The Healthworks Foundation is actively looking for volunteers to staff the
site or offer special programming. Whether you have a few hours to help out
or are interested in making a weekly commitment, Healthworks would
appreciate your support.
Please
reach out to Tavia Patusky with any interest or questions at
tpatusky@healthworksfitness.com or 617-859-8700.
Thank you for supporting the health and wellness of women and children
throughout the greater Boston community!
