Fit-Twist

Ingrid Cheng founded Fit-Twist to address two problems in Los Angeles.  Two-third of adults are overweight and eat a S.A.D (Standard American Diet) of processed foods full of fat, salt and sugar. Many minorities work paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford to buy or eat healthy food nor can they pay the high fees that most health clubs charges. That is why Ingrid created the Community Health Co-op that is a one-stop shop where members/ co-owners can get healthy food at a fair price and learn how to have a healthy lifestyle. All members earn points for completing a healthy class or workshop and for every dollar they spend at the club. Monthly membership is $25 per person or family. Members also get a $10 referral free for each friend they refer to the club who joins the 6-month membership for $100 (that's less than $17 per month). VIP yearly members join at $250 a year (less than a dollar a day) and get 10% discount on all purchases. Businesses join at $35 a month or $300 a year for VIP membership. The Co-Op partners with a local non-profit and donates 10% of profits to that non-profit, further benefiting the community. We create a circle of giving and value health and wellness of everyone regardless of age, ethnicity/ race, income, etc.
