FITNESS AND PUBLIC SAFETY
We believe that Ex(ercise) is Rx.
​
A safe and healthy Alameda County must include neighbors who move together. Regular exercise can help reduce both long and short term health risks, and help build habits for lifelong health.
​
Fitness Arena and DSAL's alike exercise classes, address the social determinants of health as well as utilize a familial program structure that encourages pro-social behavior and community cohesion.
​
By strategically placing health and fitness programs in underserved areas, and building community, DSAL is creating a safer community, one workout at a time.
