Our story of health and community
Explore the inspiring journey of Partnerships in Fitness LLC, starting from our humble beginnings in New Orleans to our unwavering passion for empowering families to achieve their best health. Discover our distinctive approach and our steadfast commitment to supporting every fitness journey.
Our origins in New Orleans and beyond
Founded in 1995 in New Orleans, LA, Partnerships in Fitness was established by Robin Parson, CEO and Founder, in collaboration with the Louis Armstrong Foundation, Inc. Together, they developed innovative dance fitness programs aimed at addressing the growing epidemic of childhood obesity—a condition closely associated with diseases like diabetes and heart disease. These programs also serve to celebrate the rich cultural dance heritage of New Orleans. The initiative was successfully implemented in art centers, community recreation centers, schools, and universities throughout the city.
Expanding our reach and impact
Founded in 2007 in Atlanta, GA, Partnerships in Fitness set out to introduce innovative lifestyle programs across the greater Metropolitan Atlanta community. The following year, we joined forces with KIPP South Fulton Academy Charter School to create tailored fitness and nutrition programs for 5th and 6th-grade students. In 2009, we partnered with the Future Foundation in East Point, GA, under the Carol White PEP Grant to further our mission.
In 2010, we collaborated with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia to launch the "Healthy Workforce, Healthy Workplace" wellness program, benefiting over 5,000 employees of Fulton County Government, the largest county government in Georgia. Our dedication to promoting health and wellness led to Fulton County Government receiving the Healthiest Employer Award from the Atlanta Business Chronicle on February 21, 2014.
For seven years, from 2010 to 2017, Partnerships in Fitness proudly supported Fulton County Government in its commitment to fostering a healthy workplace and workforce.
A unique approach to family wellness
What sets our approach apart is our commitment to the entire community, transcending age boundaries. We strive to create experiences that enable families to achieve optimal health together.
