Motivation through fitness benefits Virginia Beach’s homeless
Virginia Beach was ranked as the No. 1 fittest city in America by Facebook last year, and now the positivity of that statistic is affecting the lives of the city’s people in need. Since March 2014, a program called LIFT has aimed to touch the lives of Virginia Beach’s homeless and those in need by Lifting spirits, Improving bodies, Feeding souls and Transforming lives. The program is part of the Jim White Community Fitness Foundation and was designed to motivate individuals to become stronger physically and spiritually through fitness. Individuals participate in two group workouts per week over a month-long period.
