The Vision Behind Our Youth-First Mission
YWI emerged in 2023 as a response to the escalating youth health crisis that followed the covid-19 pandemic. Founder Jeffery Aguirre drew from his transformative personal experience with strength training to create a comprehensive wellness space where young people develop sustainable healthy habits while building confidence through the powerful mind-body connection through a strength and endurance training program.
The Impact
YWI will help young people build strength, confidence, and healthy habits through fun fitness, smart nutrition, and mental wellness support. The programs expand beyond the gym, supporting families and ultimately, shaping stronger communities.
The Mission
The Youth Wellness Initiative provides comprehensive wellness services designed to strengthen both the body and mind. Through professional fitness assessment and training, nutritional education, and structured mentorship, YWI will enable young people to establish the foundation for a healthy, confident future
Founder’s Ideology
“Confidence starts with movement. Strength grows with support. Futures change with care. Every program builds a stronger tomorrow.”
This statement reflects the guiding philosophy of Jeff, the founder of Youth Wellness Initiative. He believes that meaningful progress begins with action. When young people engage in movement, receive consistent support, and experience genuine care, they build the foundation for long-term growth.
