OUR
HISTORY
In 1998 the Healthworks
Corporation was profoundly inspired by “Women helping
Women."
More than a
slogan, women helping women is a practice that occurs daily in each of
the five Healthworks Fitness Centers. The concept of women helping
women was powerfully illustrated when Healthworks Fitness
Center’s 18,000 members lobbied to change the Massachusetts State
Law to protect women's rights to exercise and/or work in an all
women’s fitness facility.
Motivated by the accomplishments of the Healthworks membership
community, owner Mark Harrington established Healthworks Community
Fitness, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, to help
women from disenfranchised communities embrace that same sense of
empowerment and achieve optimal health.
Donating a significant portion of its revenues, Healthworks Fitness
Centers for Women committed itself to helping the less fortunate by
“doing what Healthworks does best,” namely strengthening
women through exercise and the practice of self care and preservation.
Healthworks Community Fitness operates two non-profit fitness centers
in Dorchester: Healthworks at St. Mary's and Healthworks at Codman.
Healthworks Community Fitness
also partners with other nonprofit organizations which address the
needs of women and children in the areas of health, wellness and
athletics, violence prevention and survival, and economic empowerment.
