If they made a movie about our workplace, it would be called:

Moving for Good

Inclusion in the outdoors matters because:

Although we believe that moving can change your life, going out for a walk or run is not always safe for BIPOC members of our community. Inclusion in the outdoors matters, because running and walking outdoors should be a celebration of health and fitness, not a risk to one’s safety and well being.

Five years down the line, it’s our hope that:

Gazelle Sports will be a place of support, encouragement and inspiration for everyone in our community who strives to live an active lifestyle.
