DFit of DFIT Fitness and DJ Ambi G of ForeverAmbiG Entertainment have joined forces to bring you "FITUATION." This organization is dedicated to giving people “2 REASONS 2 SWEAT” by providing a healthy environment that entertains and encourages fitness for everyone. With D Fit’s model of "Movement is Medicine" and DJ Ambi G’s approach to the universal language of music, they create a unique experience like no other. The atmosphere is designed for all ages to feel comfortable and uplifted while working on a better version of themselves, both physically and mentally.
Fituation also provides tips for eating healthier foods, daily workout routines, and a positive approach to better living. The organization works closely collaborating with NYC public schools and many community churches, businesses, and other organizations to promote health and wellness.
Beyond fitness sessions, FITUATION is deeply involved in community outreach and giveback initiatives. They participate in annual back-to-school events to promote healthy habits among students and host a major Breast Cancer Awareness Walk each year to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research and support. Through these efforts, Fituation not only encourages physical fitness but also fosters community and social responsibility.
