VISION: Reconceptualize the strength of children in body, mind, and spirit through integrated learning and wellness practices.
BROOKLYN + QUEENS + BRONX + MANHATTAN + STATEN ISLAND
“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”–Fredrick DouglasMISSION: To develop inclusive community spaces while fostering interconnectedness of multidimensional functional conditioning domains (i.e. fitness and learning) through engaging youth in multimodal experiences designed to nurture transferable wellness and learning life skills.
Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.

Schools can rent the space per semester to conduct required PE classes, or after school supplemental physical activity. Schools can provide their own instructor, or Dean CrossFit can provide a coach while a school personnel is on site.
