We challenge young people to achieve their potential as individuals and community members by providing opportunities for them to develop positive life skills and self-esteem. We also provide education and support for parents and professionals addressing the needs of youth.

The Friend Fitness Program is an individualized strength training and mentoring program designed to provide adolescents with positive adult role models. The program is offered free of cost to youth participants in the Centre County area. Our volunteer mentors are enthusiastic individuals who are committed to having a positive impact on the life of a teenager.

Mentors work 1-on-1 with youth as they lead them through a weekly workout. We provide individualized training for each mentor in the areas of workout regimen, communication, and adolescent development. We would love to have you come to the gym for a visit and see what Friend Fitness is all about!
