Giving is the greatest virtue in life. It keeps our world going and fuels the mind, body and soul. We, at the LIFT Fitness Foundation, have been blessed with God-given talents and want to use our skills to help those in need build a better quality of life. LIFT Fitness Foundation’s mission is to create a foundation of wellness to empower individuals in need.
