Mission Statement
We strive to be a health and wellness resource for our underserved neighbors, regardless of race, creed, ethnicity or age. We provide programs that impart a sense of worth, values & belonging Through our non-profit, 206 South, we are creating a safe environment where teens and adults receive guidance and support that promotes self-confidence and positions them to achieve and succeed in all aspects of their lives. Through embracing physical culture, our members learn self-discipline, persistence and tenacity, participants feel greater belief in their abilities, show more care for their bodies and health, and feel what it means to be connected to, and valued by a community of like-minded, high-achieving individuals.
About This Cause
206 South was created by CrossFit Hinge owners Zach Filer and Adrianna “AJ” Kara. Zach and AJ had a vision to serve both adults and teens in the less affluent communities of Seattle, particularly as they have witnessed all of the changes that the Seattle growth has had on lower-income families and communities. In January 2019, Zach and AJ moved their gym south, to the most underserved neighborhood of Seattle. They did so to create a space where they could offer a sliding scale membership plan for adults, and a free program for youth ages 6-19. “We have created a space and community that embraces physical training and positive aspects of physical culture without any income barriers. High-level physical training and a healthy, fitness-focused community shouldn’t be a luxury for the lucky few. It should be accessible to anyone with the drive and commitment to improve themselves and go beyond what they thought they might be capable of, and our 206 South program makes that a reality in Seattle.” Currently, 206 South hosts not only fitness classes for adults and youth, but programs for wrestling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and boxing. All programs are under one membership, and the cost to participate ranges from $145 to $0 monthly.
