About Community Fitness Today

Community Fitness Today (CFT) is a non-profit, community based organization whose mission is to improve the health status of minorities through education, fitness, and prevention programs. Our goal is to address underlying causes of health risks through culturally specific programs that will modify behaviors and educate people to make healthy lifestyle choices. The organization focuses on HIV education and prevention, advocacy and support services for individuals who are HIV positive. There is no location off limits when it comes to doing HIV prevention workshops; such as prisons, chemical dependency treatment facilities, individual homes, community centers, schools, etc.

Our aerobics program highlights the need for education and prevention of cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, weight loss, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity. CFT provides hard-to-find culturally appropriate services and programs that are rooted in history, heritage and culture. For example, African American women are able to socially identify with other participants, and fitness instructors from their own community three times a week, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 6-7pm at Sabathani Community Center 2nd floor gym, located at 310 E. 38th Street, in Minneapolis.
