Who We Are
WeViva is a 501c3 non-profit organization, in Austin, Texas. We are a team of bilingual, certified group fitness instructors and nutritionists who go where we’re needed most. Because we believe everyone should have access to a healthy lifestyle, all of our services are provided free for participants and onsite.

What We Do
WeViva provides mobile fitness and nutritional programs, and all of the health benefits that go with them, regardless of income or socio-economic status. Regardless of whether we're teaching in apartment complexes, community centers, parks, or churches, WeViva benefits the whole community.

What Participants Can Expect
A WeViva session lasts 6 weeks, with classes meeting at least twice a week. There are at least 12 classes in a session.

Each WeViva class is approximately 1 hour, composed of a fitness class (such as Zumba, Salsa, Bands and Balls, or Yoga) and a nutritional information/demonstration session.

Because a sense of progress boosts motivation, we measure weight, height, and BMI at the beginning of a session, in addition to questions focused around behavioral and attitudinal changes. We follow up with the same measurements when the session has been completed, and also check in with our clients about their satisfaction with themselves and the program.

Incentives are provided for people who start the program, those who complete 6 classes, and finally those women who complete all 12 classes.

Who is Eligible?
WeViva specifically targets low-income women, 18 or older, who live or work in the participating community. We just ask that everyone tries to come to at least one class each week. 

Why WeViva?
Low-income minority individuals, especially Hispanic adults, have significantly higher rates of obesity and diabetes than the general population. By encouraging healthy eating and fitness in at-risk communities, WeViva aims to reverse that trend.
