Healthy Women lead to Healthy Communities

Healthworks Community Fitness is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization devoted to serving health and fitness needs of women and children in the Boston area.  We believe that all women, regardless of economic status, deserve access to high-quality fitness opportunities and health support.  The organization currently operates two non-profit fitness centers in Dorchester, run by its own staff and many volunteers. 

With support, Healthworks Community Fitness aims to operate thriving community fitness centers that provide the highest quality holistic nutrition, fitness, and well-being services while working directly with community-based resources in order to expand the scope of care to patients, resulting in fitter, healthier, happier, and better-educated neighborhoods.

Help us with our mission, empower others to lead healthier lives and truly affect change.
