WELLNESS WITH WUKKOUT!

Wukkout! is a high energy Caribbean Dance Fitness class & nationally accredited instructor training program, designed to make you sweat and have fun just as you would at a Caribbean Carnival.  Instructor-led total body exercises providing improved mental health, stress reduction and increased muscle tone for people of color ages 25-45.

1. Communities of color have higher incidents of diabetes and high blood pressure, yet they do not have adequate resources - they’re essentially living in a “fitness desert”.  For example: 10 studios can be found in a one block radius in the Flatiron neighborhood in Manhattan but only 3 gyms are located in all of Coney Island.
2. Gyms in underserved communities often only have generic equipment - relegating BIPOC communities to treadmills and ellipticals.
3. Fitness classes are few and far between.

1. WUKKOUT!  Is the solution.  You no longer need to travel several miles to access quality fitness programming - we bring the classes to YOU.
2. Direct service to BIPOC communities, classes are offered in person and virtually; with dynamic choreography and the infectious music that is soca, all that is needed is your flag.  All levels are welcome.
3. With 10 years in the industry, Wukkout! has a proven track record of improving health outcomes.  Many clients lower or even eliminate their medication usage through regular attendance at our classes.

I believe Wukkout! found me. Bringing people of all ages and backgrounds together, to share a culture and a way of moving, brings me joy.  I come from a Caribbean family and my culture is tied deeply to my passion.  I created Wukkout! as a way to diversify the fitness space through a truly inclusive and welcoming experience, and as a professional choreographer and dancer, I bring 30+ years of experience to my classes, making them safe, fun, and effective.

I’ve been bootstrapping this business since its inception and while I am proud of what I have accomplished in this manner, the dreams I have of bettering the lives of others and of improving our communities’ health and wellbeing, can only be made real with more access to funding.

Thank you so much for your support in helping Wukkout! grow into a successful business that promotes job growth and wellness opportunities for people in my community.  Your contribution is a part of the Wukkout! story and means more to me than I can possibly express.
