SP Gives Back

Fitness is a necessity for everyone. It is foundational for overall mental and physical health. So - no matter where you live in the world - YOU can be a part of this family.

"We are a no-nonsense, authentic, community committed to providing real people with the tools they need to take control of their fitness.”

The Street Parking program and community were designed from the very beginning to break down all barriers to fitness. Our aim has always been to provide a place and a program that is accessible no matter who you are. This program was made for those who can’t afford, don’t have access to, or don’t feel comfortable in a conventional or “box” gym. It was created for those who work odd hours, or perhaps two jobs. For those who are full time parents, or full time students. For those who have no fitness background, or those with years worth of experience. It has been built to provide high quality coaching and a social platform to motivate and support people from all walks of life - because to us fitness is not a luxury reserved for those with extra time and money.

Fitness is a necessity for everyone. It is foundational for overall mental and physical health. So - no matter where you live in the world - YOU can be a part of this family.

At the heart of the SP program is a community where support goes beyond daily encouragement and high fives. Since 2017, Street Parking has created relationships and connections with various teams and organizations that support or provide resources that reach beyond physical fitness tools, yet are just as vital. The SP Community is given the opportunity to participate in events and/or fundraisers if a member so desires.

We are grateful for the ways our community has given back to the following organizations:

AlexStrong

We operate local urban farms, increase access to and knowledge of healthy food for Harlem residents, and provide garden-based development programs to Harlem youth.Healthy habits start young, which is why our programs target elementary-aged students.
