Describe the challenge you want to address:

The challenge I see in my community is that a lot of young people (like kids under 18), older working adults, and people with disabilities don't have access to fitness programs and are more at risk for health concerns.

What is the solution to the challenge?

One way to solve the problem is to provide a free service, which may be for kids, adults with disabilities, or anyone who can't afford a program (i.e., a gym membership or personal trainer) that hosts group exercise events and fitness advice. This would allow residents to have a fun opportunity that also benefits their health /physical well-being. The trainers would be volunteers who would get volunteer hours. Maybe host it at a local school gymnasium.
