Mission Statement

FOCUSFish is a non-profit for public benefit that offers movement arts and physical education programs to people of all ages, levels, and abilities in both studio and school settings.  From exclusive private school circus immersions to community fitness outreach for children with special needs, FOCUSfish enables families of all kinds to find quality time together while exercising their creativity and compassion.

​​FOCUSfish Community Programs and Services

Through FOCUSfish Community programming, people of all ages and fitness levels receive high-quality exercise programming consisting of high-end circus training for low-income demographics. This includes families with developmental disabilities, young adult students, home-schooled children and terminally ill children from organizations such as COACHART.

Fitness Statistics

Picture
  • According to the National Diabetes Fact Sheet, about 186,300 young people in the US under age 20 had diabetes in 2009.
  • About 2/3 of men and almost half of women in California are overweight or obese.
  • At present, approximately 9 million children over 6 years of age are considered obese and 15% are considered at risk of becoming overweight.
  • Psychological consequences of overweight children are at an increased risk for discrimination, low self-esteem, and poor body image.
  • In 2000, a survey found that only 8% of elementary schools, 6.4% of middle schools, and 5.8% of senior high schools provided daily physical education for the entire school year for all of the students in each grade.
