These Atlanta area fitness studios give back to the community<\/p>\n A good cardio workout is certainly good for your ticker, but what\u2019s even better for your heart health? Combining a sweat session with doing good for others. The Buckhead area has no shortage of fitness studios that give back to the community. Here are a few that we heart\u2014and hope we can all get back to ASAP.<\/p>\n STUDIO: CAMP GLADIATOR<\/strong><\/p>\n a 4-week pop-up workout program held at parks including Lynwood Park and Blackburn Park<\/p>\n CAUSE: \u201cCG Gives\u201d supports under served youths and promotes health and wellness programs for low income communities throughout the country, including here in Atlanta. Camp Gladiator Regional Director and Trainer Brandon Hall says, \u201cWe\u2019ve fed the homeless and collected blankets and jackets for St. Luke\u2019s Presbyterian Church. Atlanta has a huge homeless population. We are willing to do anything to help those who are less fortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n HOW TO CONTRIBUTE: Camp Gladiator fans and any volunteers who would like to help are encouraged to participate in upcoming give-back events. Call or check the website for future happenings.<\/p>\n Various locations. STUDIO: TURN STUDIO<\/strong><\/p>\n An indoor cycling and strength studio in Sandy Springs<\/p>\n CAUSES: Sandy Springs\u2019 Turn Studio hosts #TURNitForward charity cycling classes and HIIT workouts upon request, and all proceeds go to a nonprofit cause. Before Turn opened in 2018, it raised more than $10,000 with seven different #TURNitForward events around Atlanta. To date, Turn has raised funds for Make-A-Wish Georgia, ALS, LLS, A Cure in Our Lifetime, American Kidney Fund, Ovarian Cycle, Furkids, Wake for Warriors and more.<\/p>\n HOW TO CONTRIBUTE: Anyone may get involved if a cause resonates. Email info@turnstudio.com to learn about hosting or participating in a ride.<\/p>\n Turn Studio GYM: LIFE TIME FITNESS<\/strong><\/p>\n A luxury athletic club in Sandy Springs<\/p>\n CAUSE: The company\u2019s Life Time Foundation partners with schools to help kids get more nutritious meals. For example, the Buford City Schools is one of Life Time\u2019s local partners. Life Time raised funds for an expert assessment of the district\u2019s school nutrition program, resulting in a menu that is 80% free from trans fats and hydrogenated oils, high-fructose corn syrup, hormones, antibiotics and much more.<\/p>\n HOW TO CONTRIBUTE: Make a donation or recommend a school district for grant consideration through the foundation\u2019s website, ltfoundation.org\/donate<\/a>.<\/p>\n Life Time Fitness STUDIO: ACTIVE SOL YOGA<\/strong><\/p>\n A yoga studio in Buckhead<\/p>\n CAUSES: Over the years, Active Sol Yoga has made monetary contributions to area performance artists by hosting donation classes in their honor. The studio has also provided free rehearsal space to dancers and donated ticket sales from performances to various artists. Jillian Mitchell founded Active Sol as a way to keep running her professional dance troupe, Kit Modus, the resident company at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center. However, she also wanted to give back to the arts community at large. \u201cI recognized that creating a new arts organization also creates a continual need for funding. One way to alleviate that was to generate a revenue stream. I decided to purchase a business and wound up with a yoga studio,\u201d she says. Active Sol\u2019s proceeds go back to Kit Modus as well as to other art-driven groups around the city.<\/p>\n HOW TO CONTRIBUTE: Attend classes, volunteer and rent the space, which is available for parties and photoshoots, too.<\/p>\n
