ABOUT US 

B.U.F.F. (Believers United For Fitness) is a faith and fitness company providing  the community with spiritual, mental, and physical wellness in one facility. 

It all started with the owner and founder Jude’s emotional eating controlling his  life. He wasn’t always like this. It started back in November 2015 when Jude was 6  months away from turning 30 years old. He made plans on getting himself back  in shape to look great for his 30th birthday. During his fitness journey he tore his  

patella tendon and surgery was the only solution. Six weeks of bed rest, three  months or rehab, and many tearful nights later he was back on his feet again.  With the support of his praying mother he was back on the fitness journey, ready  to make a comeback. His mother and Jude had a set schedule to work out  together followed by prayer and bible study. This routine grew them closer to one  another and to God. Their journey of faith and fitness made their bond even  closer. 

December 2016, as Jude’s mom was discussing plans for 2017 with him, she had a  heart attack and passed away while he was administering CPR . Her death put  Jude in turmoil and deep depression. He gained 30 pounds in a month and  considered drinking his life away. However his faith wouldn’t allow him. He joined  a 12 week fitness challenge in honor of his mom where he lost 57 pounds, 22  inches, and 25% body fat in 12 weeks. He lost weight, but also gained more  understanding of God's love and comfort. 

This is where B.U.F.F. Lifestyle was born, combining faith and fitness; promoting  overall healthy lifestyle physically, spiritually, and mentally. Some people focus  entirely on spirituality, neglecting their physical bodies. Others focus so much  attention on their physical bodies that they neglect spiritual growth and  maturity. And many haven’t included mental wellness. Neither of these indicates  a biblical balance and total wellness. B.U.F.F. was created to change that and  create harmony between mental, physical and spiritual fitness.

ABOUT THE EVENT 

The goal of our “Exercise Your Faith 5k Run & Walk” is to bring awareness to the  importance of fitness and mental health in the Christian community.  

1 TIMOTHY 4:8 

“For physical training is of some value, but godliness  has value for all things, holding promise for both the  present life and the life to come.”

REASONS WHY WE MUST WORK SO HARD: 

  • Christian are 30% more overweight than any other religion.   Young adults (18-35) who attend church once a week have a 50% chance of   becoming obese. 
  • Church leaders are 76% more overweight than the congregation.   Georgia ranks 50 out of 51 in mental health accessibility. 

While these numbers seem astronomical, together we can make a difference to  change the narrative. At B.U.F.F. We are committed to creating a community to  not only acknowledge this issue but to bring tangible change that creates a  sustainable lifestyle. We will have activities for everyone including, live worship +  workout, food trucks, swag bags, FREE shirts (first 300 registrants), games and  MORE! 

All proceeds and fundraising efforts will go toward opening the first ever mental  health fitness center. Our revolutionary gym concept will create an environment  where you can access professional life coaches, prayer rooms, quality fitness  equipment and personal trainers. Wellness isn't one dimensional, it’s three  dimensional - Spiritual, Mental, and Physical. 

MARKETING & BRANDING 

It’s very important that we represent our selves in the most professional way  posiable. We have developed event braning that will appeal to the masses.

VENDOR DETAILS 

We are planning to bring some awesome food truck vendors such as  Kona Icy, Smoothie & Juice, and Hole In Da Wall which will serve  grilled chicken, shrimp, and jerk salmon. Food always brings an  exciting family atmosphere to an event such as this, allowing people  to stay longer, be more involved, and have a better overall  experience. We have exhibitors such as chiropractor, mental health  organization, lawyers, mortgage company to add to the  informational services to aid participants and their families.

 

COST BREAKDOWN  

The total cost for the event is $30,200. The goal is to have 2,000 participants  to register at $35.00 to raise a total amount of $70,000. 

 

We believe with our niche market we can obtain this number if not more. The  faith community has never had an event of this magnitude cater to them. With  over 300,000 thousand churches with an average of 1,500 active members in  Georgia. We believe our marketing strategy will entice and excite our target  market to join the race to better health.
