NOTE: Sunday workouts only are postponed for the summer. Saturday yoga is still on. This is due to Balboa Park having large events most weekends as well as the morning heat being too much to workout in. We will resume after Labor Day.

Updates:

11/7/2010: CharityWorkouts.org got 2nd Place in the StayClassy.org annual awards. Every year StayClassy.org accepts nominations for top charities and fundraisers in different cities across the country. We were nominated for “Most Successful Fundraiser by an Individual/Group” and we came in second place in San Diego. Very exciting! Next year we will work harder to shoot for First Place!

9/1/2010: CharityWorkouts.org is growing! We now have yoga classes! I’m VERY EXCITED to welcome Tracey Dalton, a volunteer with Outdoor Outreach and an expert yoga instructor, to the program. Tracey is volunteering her services to help us raise money for local charities. Tracey’s yoga class is from 11am-Noon, right after the boot camp. Just like all our workouts, donations are completely voluntary and 100% of the money goes to local charities. You rock Tracey!

8/1/2010: We’re adding a new charity! In addition to helping out the great organization www.OutdoorOutreach.org, we are now donating money to Kids Included Together. KIT specializes in including children with disabilities into their existing recreational, social and child care programs. My goal is to raise $1,000 this year for KIT. See http://www.kitonline.org for more information about KIT.

7/1/2010: Outdoor Outreach is having their annual fund raiser in Joshua Tree in October. I’ve been every year and I can’t wait to go again. This is their biggest fund raiser of the year and it’s also the most fun. We will spend the weekend rock climbing, slacklining, scrambling through caves and much more. Each person has to raise $350 to be able to go. All the money I raise in the workouts goes to Outdoor Outreach. You can donate directly on my Joshua Tree fund raiser page if you like! http://www.stayclassy.org/member/fundraising?fcid=1373

3/1/2010: February was a shorter month, and the rain kept the turnouts a little smaller this month, so $443 was collected. $343 will be donated to Outdoor Outreach to support San Diego’s at-risk youth, and $100 will be donated to Colette Harding Contemporay Dance Company to support the local arts.

2/1/2010: $700 was donated in January! It’s our biggest month ever with 20-30 people at every workout. $500 was donated to www.OutdoorOutreach.org and $220 was donated to Pit Bull Rescue of San Diego (http://www.pbrsd.org)

1/1/2010: End of year update: Over 300 adults have worked out with us in 2009 and donated $4,000 to www.OutdoorOutreach.org!

11/2009: City Beat magazine names Brian the “Push-up Philanthropist” in the 2009 Best Of San Diego issue. City Beat Best of 2009

4/1/2009: Brian gets the Volunteer of the Quarter award from Outdoor Outreach for his work at the boot camps. http://outdooroutreach.org/sponsors/CharityWorkout.htm

1/4/2009: Today was Charity Workout’s first workout ever and it was a great success. Thanks to everyone who came out to support this idea of working out for charity. Let’s hope things keep going this well and the group thrives.

Cost

All workouts are based on voluntary donations. If you can donate $5, great. If not, no worries. With today’s economy, having a low cost/free workout alternative to expensive gym memberships is more necessary than ever. What’s most important is spreading awareness about our great local charities that do so much to help the youth in our community. So remember to bring a friend with you as well!

When and Where

We meet every Sunday at 9:50 am. We either meet near Balboa Park or DeAnza depending upon whether there are any major events happening in those areas that day. Please check at the top of this page for where we are meeting this Sunday.
