Welcome to my site! While often times exercise is advertised for its physical benefits, my story aims to explore it's role in building social networks and a sense of community. I have been inspired by my time working at the YMCA of San Diego County where I have firsthand witnessed people have casual interactions with each other, that have blossomed into meaningful, genuine friendships.
Various research has shown that has shown that social networks and physical activity is something that is inextricably linked. In fact, approximately eight out of ten adults have shared that one of their main motives for going to the gym is to interact with others. If you are interested in getting into fitness and are seeking to learn what deeper social benefits stem from it, this is the place for you!
