Introducing the Black Sheep Fitness Academy
Studio X is bringing its alternative brand of fitness to Portland’s youth with our new Black Sheep Fitness Academy. The Black Sheep Fitness Academy is a small group exercise class aimed at high school aged (14-18) kids who have struggled with weight, body image and self esteem. The class will help participants create a more positive personal perception through hard work, encouragement and learning new ways of taking care of their minds and bodies.
The class addresses the national conversation about youth obesity in the very personal, supportive way that we approach everyone. Class instructor Jack Beisel understands the mental and physical struggles these youth face, having struggled with his own weight during high school. His experience mastering his mind and body translates into clear passion for helping kids “learn how to feel good about themselves, be proud of what they are capable of and be more comfortable in their own skin.” Starting in August, the class will meet twice a week for six weeks, specific times and dates will be posted soon.
Black Sheep Scholarships
Often cost is a barrier to accessing health and fitness guidance, and Studio X Fitness wants kids to be able to participate regardless of economics. The studio has committed to sponsoring 50% of class costs and registration in order to facilitate kids to come in and “MOVE”. The sponsorship funding comes largely from the donations of Studio X members, along with pro-bono work by Tim and Jack.
If you're interested in finding out more about the Black Sheep Academy, or would like to help by donating to the scholarship fund, contact Tim.
