BKM 4 Life - Foundation for Fitness and Health

BKM 4 Life Foundation for Fitness and Health was established by Briant K. Mitchell, as an extension of his BKM Fitness Boot Camp business to further support the community and provide services for the physical and overall health of the St. Louis region. Noticing there was a growing number of people who were under-resourced, undereducated and under-supported in their fitness journey, Mitchell realized that there was still much to do.

BKM 4 Life offers a wide range of services to the community through our programs and partnerships. In part, the foundation inspires the community to increase physical activity, and to choose foods that will help to strengthen and nourish the body. We believe that by focusing on these factors it will lead to overall:
• healthier weights
• higher personal satisfaction, mobility, physical endurance and strength
• improvement in health conditions and experiences which are strongly associated with illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, and high cholesterol
• and better overall quality of life.

The Urgency
It is no secret that marginalized groups have typically had more health issues due to a number of factors. Unfortunately, the current COVID 19 pandemic only highlights what was already known to be a concern. It is important, now more than ever, that our region begins to place a heavier emphasis on making sure that ALL citizens have access to fitness opportunities and are educated on ways to make healthy lifestyle choices. BKM 4 Life Foundation for Fitness and Health, is answering the call.

Partnerships
BKM 4 Life also partners with organizations to increase access to and knowledge of fresh and non-processed food options, especially in under-served and under-represented communities in the St. Louis area. These partnerships help expand BKM 4 Life's reach while also connecting members with academic, social, physical and emotional resources already in place.
