Rainier Health and Fitness

WHO WE ARE
Rainier Health & Fitness is a nonprofit health organization making a meaningful difference in the South Seattle community by making exercise fun, accessible & affordable. Our mission is to encourage healthy lifestyles, strong bodies, and authentic community through an accessible, high quality fitness center.

Our vision is to be a model of the healthiest neighborhood, a place where reconciliation is facilitated as barriers between people are diminished through exercise.

WHAT WE DO
Because gyms can be intimidating especially to the inexperienced individual, Rainier Health & Fitness staff & volunteers ensure every detail is designed to make this person feel comfortable and equipped to exercise. Free personal assistance, group classes, & childcare are included in the RHF membership package.

WHY WE DO IT
Rainier Health & Fitness is committed to remove specific obstacles that prevent making exercise a regular part of everyday life. Physical activity has immense power in reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, heart disease, & diabetes. A high incidence of obesity is particularly pronouced in minority populations, and is also rampant among those of low-income. Rainier Health & Fitness targets this population with considerable success. All members have available to them an affordable facility within the neighborhood that provides health education & quality equipment & staff. Trust for America's Health, an organization advocating health prevention initiatives, reports an approximated $5.60 return in five years for a $1 health preventive investment today.

WHO MAKES THIS POSSIBLE
Of course, we can't do it alone. Since opening its doors in 2005, Rainier Health & Fitness has been fortunate to partner with like-minded leaders who share this vision. Urban Impact of Seattle, many foundations, and individuals make our efforts on behalf of our community possible, enabling us to bring our mission to reality.
