We Have the Power to Impact Our Future, and We’re Doing Something About It

LA Fitness is proud to support one of the largest leading mental health companies in the nation, NAMI: National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Nearly 60 million people in the U.S. face the day-to-day reality of having a mental health condition. Throughout the year, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) raises public awareness through campaigns that fight stigma and discrimination, point people to help and support, educate the public and encourage advocacy for equal care.

Fitness plays a key part in helping to reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression and can be a great way to help reduce some symptoms associated with these conditions.
