"From the first time I saw Get Focused at a health fair in the summer, I knew I wanted to bring them to my school to get my students excited about fitness. Their interactive obstacle courses make exercising fun especially for teens. When they came to my health fair, they fit in perfectly with my students and the teachers were asking me to bring them back more often! Their ability to get kids excited through fitness is definitely unmatchable. I believe this organization is going to be a huge part in making America a healthier country. There is no doubt in my mind." -Orly Ninyo, Health Coordinator, Abraham Lincoln High School

My name is E. Goldin Martinez. I am Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Get Focused Inc. I have been involved in the field of fitness for over eleven years. Growing up in the Washington Heights section of New York City, I have witnessed the lack of leadership for our youth that is epidemic in this neighborhood. The result is a lack of healthy choices available for our children. Because of this personal life experience, I am determined to provide a way to give to the youth of our community the opportunity to have good choices.
The mission of Get Focused Inc. is to help our youth in making the right choices on their way to healthy, fit adults. We have developed a complete program designed to incorporate physical fitness and leadership skills to guide them on their road to success. We are looking forward to inspiring all the youth of New York City to Get
Focused on a better way to live!
Thank you,

My name is Yusuf Myers. I am Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Get Focused Inc. Fitness and not-for-profit work have always been a part of my life. Having been involved with an organization similar to Get Focused Inc. since I was very young, I realize the value and need that such a service provides to the youth of a community such as Washington Heights, where I was raised. I know from my own personal struggle with weight gain and self-esteem issues the difference fitness and living healthy can make. I have been actively involved in athletics and fitness since the age of six. Fitness is simply my life.
My vision for Get Focused is to provide leadership in the fight against obesity that is threatening to destroy the lives of our youth by introducing them to a better, healthier way to live. The Get Focused way!
Thank you,
