Primitive Fit is a Community Health Initiative that integrates Preventative Health & Blue Zone Principles into the foundations of our community to help combat the most far reaching problem we face as a society —the massive public health and wellness crisis.  

Program Goals:

• Drastically improve public health outcomes -We aim to help reduce chronic disease, improve physical and mental health, and resiliency with maximum, long term impact. 

• Parental & family aid -Giving kids a place to grow during the critical hours from 3-6pm when youth are off school, parents are still working and could use need much needed support.

• Save taxpayer dollars by relieving long term burden on the public infrastructure - By improving the physical and mental health through our program, we can help lessen reliance on public healthcare, reduce violence, crime and lower taxpayer burden.

• Help build communities from the inside-out - Giving our youth purpose, learning respect and tradition from our elders, fostering social connection, staying healthy, building resilience and learning to live simply.

Using preventative health and the blue zone principles.

“Blue Zones” refers to regions where people live significantly longer, often reaching 100+ years with remarkable health & vitality. Based on extensive research, their longevity is tied to shared values & behaviors that contribute to physical, mental, & social well-being. Our Community Health Initiative is built on these principles:

• Arming people with purpose

• Learning respect and tradition from our Elders

• Fostering social connection

• Staying healthy and strong

• Building resilience

• Learning to live simply

To address the public health crisis, we have programmed the above principles into an afterschool program —through old and ancestral ways to wellness by integrating fitness, sport, self-defense and mentorship.
