Ohana Growth Partners opened a Mini Judgement Free Zone^® at the Baltimore Ravens Boys & Girls Club at Hilton Recreation Center in Baltimore, Maryland. The Mini Judgement Free Zone will allow kids in West Baltimore to improve their physical and mental well-being in a safe environment. The mini fitness center has 568 square feet of space, and it offers the same amenities as Planet Fitness^® clubs. The space will serve as a safe place for kids ages 13 and older to work out. The franchise group held a grand opening event for the Mini JFZ^® in October of last year.

“We are super excited to be able to partner with Planet Fitness and Ohana Growth Partners on this Mini Judgement Free Zone,” said Director of External Affairs & Strategic Initiatives of Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Baltimore (BGCMB) Andre Fountain. “The new fitness space positively impacts young people here in the Boys & Girls Club, providing them access to build their physical fitness and help them on their journey to be active for life.”

Ohana Growth Partners has been supporting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Baltimore for years. In the past, the franchise group has hosted health and wellness days at Ohana clubs for the kids, sponsoring over 350 kids to attend an Orioles game for the past four years, and assisting with fundraising, mentoring “Youth of the Year” candidates as well as supporting BGCMB’s Passport to Manhood program. The Mini JFZ is just another example of how Ohana Growth Partners has given back to the youth in their community.

“When we heard that the new Boys & Girls Club would be designed as a place for youth to learn, lead and thrive and move, and that the Baltimore Ravens, Bisciotti Family Foundation and so many other amazing partners were getting involved, we knew this was something monumental and needed to be part of,” said Ohana Growth Partners President Justin Drummond. “The Mini Judgement Free Zone complements the center’s exceptional amenities and further BGCMB’s positive impact on the West Baltimore community. It’s an investment that keeps giving and an investment in the kids’ future selves.”
