ÉCONOFITNESS FOUNDATION: FOR AN ACTIVE AND FUN YOUTH!

The Éconofitness Foundation was launched in 2018, five years after the first Éconofitness gym opened. Éconofitness decided to establish a children’s foundation out of a desire to promote the joy of exercising in a way that reflects respect for oneself and for others as well as for one’s physical and mental limitations.

Through this foundation, Éconofitness continues to uphold its four core values of fun, support, respect, and simplicity.

MISSION OF THE ÉCONOFITNESS FOUNDATION

It was only natural for Éconofitness to extend its mission, which is to make fitness accessible to as many Quebeckers as possible, to school-aged children and adolescents, targeting in particular the age groups most at risk of being sedentary, that is, those ages 9 to 17.

WHY CREATE A FOUNDATION?

Every child should, from a very young age, have the chance to experience the joy and benefits that come with an active lifestyle, don’t you think? How sad it is to see a child adopt a sedentary lifestyle because of social or financial issues, physical or mental limitations, or family constraints.

 

The ultimate goal behind the establishment of this foundation is for all young people to grow up with the opportunity to lead an active life that promotes a healthy lifestyle from an early age and has a lasting, positive impact on their health and self-esteem.

The Éconofitness Foundation also wants to break the taboos about physical appearance and encourage young people to realize that exercise is for everyone, regardless of fitness level or shape, thus motivating children who may be shyer or more self-conscious to start exercising and accept the way they look.

 
DONATIONS TO ORGANIZATIONS

In order to spread its vocation, the Éconofitness Foundation chooses to donate money to non-profit organizations, youth centers or schools with an activity project related to its mission and values. These institutions can apply for funding directly on the foundation's website.

 
$10,000 ALREADY DONATED TO FILLACTIVE!

Although the Éconofitness Foundation has only recently been created, it has already begun to promote its mission by presenting its first ever funding cheque, worth $10,000, to Fillactive, an organization with which the Éconofitness Foundation shares two values, namely support and respect, and whose mission is to encourage teenage girls to adopt and maintain an active lifestyle.
