BFit505 – Burque CrossFit in the news, on the airwaves, and in the community.
With approximately 1,000 members, the Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce is comprised of organizations and individuals, all motivated towards making the Duke City a special place to be. One of their members is working towards doing just that.
BFit505 is a community collaborative that provides fitness opportunities for individuals to live a healthy life with movement and wellness.
"I been in education for 25 years and throughout that time being with students and families in the community it seems a thought one of the key components for success was in health and wellness."
In 2014, Buchanan created 'Running 505' a youth wellness organization and one of the goals for that was to expand community wellness. Eventually, BFit505 was the next step and with the help of organizations they have created a healthy community.
BFit505 is a CrossFit gym that has members from 4–76 years of age. They are a gym that meets individuals wherever they are and works with them to help them meet their fitness and wellness goals.
