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.
