The Sports Backers Fitness Warriors program offers FREE and FUN fitness classes all over the Richmond
With support from the Richmond City Health District, the Sports Backers’ Fitness Warriors program trains area residents who have talent, passion, and potential to be professional fitness instructors for Richmond’s communities with the highest rates of chronic disease. Fitness Warriors are selected for their skills and leadership, and we train them up to be certified group exercise instructors. Throughout the program, Warriors meet as a class 1-2 times/month on the weekends and get dedicated training and support from professionals in the field. Throughout the program we teach the basics of fitness instruction and coaching, help to grow each Warrior’s leadership skills, introduce multiple exercise class styles, and create expertise in the fundamentals of teaching cardio, strength, and flexibility. Along the way, Warriors are going out and leading free fitness classes, with ongoing supportive site visits from our team, in the communities that need them the most. By teaching these weekly classes around the Richmond region, Warriors get to hone their skills AND provide an important resource to Richmonders who are trying to stay healthy.

RVA, we had to test that balance before leaving class! 😂⚖️
One leg up. Core engaged. Wobbling encouraged. 😜
Because balance isn’t about being perfect—it’s about adjusting, laughing, and finding your footing again.
How long are you holding it? 👀👇🏾
