Wellness
WHO WE ARE
The Lone Pine Wellness Center/Ohobü Fitness is a small community gym owned and operated by the Lone Pine Paiute-Shoshone Tribe and is the only fitness center within 41 miles of Lone Pine, California. The gym was created in order to provide Lone Pine tribal members with the resources and education they need to achieve their fitness and overall wellness goals.
In order to create a sustainable wellness program and expand on services and resources for tribal members, we opened our doors to the non-tribal community for a small monthly fee. Since then, our gym has become more than a business, it’s a community of positivity, health, wellness and empowerment for people of all ages, races and backgrounds.
We hope to continue to expand our services to not only the tribal community but to the non-tribal community as well.
OUR MISSION
To create a healthy and positive environment where tribal members have free access to fitness equipment and educational resources designed to help them thrive and meet their wellness goals.
OUR VISION
To sustain and expand our wellness program to provide more services for Lone Pine tribal members, including but not limited to: providing access to fitness equipment, culturally-relevant cooking/nutrition classes, fitness classes and personal training for free.
