Urban Fitness Network is a project of Neighborhood Outdoor Exercise for New York, Inc. (NOENY). NOENY was founded in 2005 as an innovative after-school program that combines outdoor exercise with skill-building and community service for NYC public high school students. We incorporated in 2006 as a 501 ©) (3) non-profit corporation. NOENY’s founder and current Executive Director is John Famulary,

In 2007 NOENY continued to innovate with the first Williamsburg Outdoor Fitness Fair, held in November ‘07 at McCarren Park, Brooklyn.

At the fair, fitness professionals across a spectrum of practices from yoga to capoeira shared their knowledge with fair goers. They were joined by community health care providers, healthier food and beverage manufacturers and city agencies such as the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation. More NOENY Fitness Fairs are coming 2008 and beyond.

2008 has also seen the launch of the Urban Fitness Network and its web site: www.urbanfitnessnetwork.org . It’s NOENY's blend of online and on-the-ground programs, services, and features themed around outdoor exercise, connection with nature in urban outdoor environments and perspectives in healthier living. Our programs are geared toward youth and residents in the NYC neighborhoods we serve.

We are dedicated to fostering healthier communities in New York City, neighborhood by neighborhood. We plan to expand to more NYC neighborhoods and schools in 2008 and beyond!
