EVERY INDIAN HAS THE RIGHT TO BE ABLE TO
Be Active & FIT
About Us
Fitplex is a youth initiative that promotes accessibility to fitness services and physical literacy amongst underserved and underrepresented communities throughout India and Venezuela. The cumulation of three years of effort at Fitplex has resulted in providing essential sports itineraries, and self-defense mats, and constructing an outdoor gymnasium for students in underserved and underrepresented schools across Delhi. In the next 10 years, we aim to reach every government school in India, to increase accessibility to free fitness facilities for all, ensuring that societal norms or personal circumstances do not prevent physical literacy and accessibility to fitness services. The students that we work with come from backgrounds where their families earn less than 15,000 INR or 200 USD per month. For them, affording a gym membership or buying fitness equipment isn't an option, as they struggle to meet their basic needs. That is why, by promoting accessibility to fitness facilities to them from an early age, at the school that they attend, they can get a workout in or even learn how to exercise, which otherwise wouldn't have been possible. And it isn't only family finances, for many students they experience societal norms in India stopping them from exercising. Everyone deserves to experience the joy of fitness, regardless of their background.
