socially conscious organization - The New Beginnings Connection

TNB Fitness is unique in many ways but our affiliation to The New Beginnings Center makes your membership and our mission very important to the health of Tennessee’s women.

Providing Individualized Coaching to All Women Regardless of Financial Status
Nashville has done so much to help encourage healthy lifestyles with parks, greenways, and wellness programs, but affordable and individualized health coaching services are currently unavailable to the majority of those who need help. Obesity rates are climbing in low-income and minority populations. By offering individualized coaching to high risk, low-income Nashvillians, New Beginnings is helping to change this trend. The New Beginnings Center is a not-for-profit organization also for women only and it’s mission is to proactively address the obesity crisis that faces low-income women and deliver healthy outcomes that are sustainable by utilizing strength training, physical fitness and nutritional education as platforms for changing behavior, self-concepts, and for building self-esteem.

Cynthia

While doing research for a hearing impairment nonprofit, she came across The New Beginnings Center as a wellness resource for women and remembers getting goosebumps. “It was like the universe was speaking to me.” The 12-week session had already started but Cynthia decided to enroll anyway. “I was nervous. I was still getting used to my new cochlear implant and was worried about my hearing. I knew I was really out of shape. I knew that my body and my mind needed a lot of help.”

Marissa

Marissa has been part of the New Beginnings family since April 2019. She was looking for something that would help her start up her health journey again. “I found out about New Beginnings from my counselor and not long after, a co-worker asked me if I knew about it. I figured if I had heard about it twice then maybe there’s something about New Beginnings and I need to participate!” When Marissa enrolled, she weighed 260 pounds.
