SPECIAL OLYMPICS ATHLETES TEAM UP WITH MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYERS FOR AN ONLINE FITNESS CAMPAIGN

ESCUELA DE FUERZA

SUBMITTED BY SPECIAL OLYMPICS

Fun, determined, having a love of fitness. Those are some of the qualities you want in a health coach or workout buddy. But those traits combined with fitness skills only come naturally to a select few. Meet Special Olympics athletes Belem Chavez and Ramón Jimenez – who are both charismatic and passionate fitness leaders.

Belem, an athlete from Chicago, is an enthusiastic leader in her community. She volunteers routinely at a local community center and loves to support and educate those around her. Ramón, an athlete from Las Vegas, strives to do his best

in every situation, including in his position on the janitorial team at his local airport. Together, they form part of a group of Special Olympics athletes who have made it their mission to help fellow athletes and peers to get fit and be the healthiest version of themselves possible.
