Friends and family alike have ask what is Helix Social?
We host social events that focus on fitness and health. We chose ‘Helix’ as it represents the intertwining of two separate parts. We are one part Health and one part Fitness. To be the best version of you, you need both. We bring them together through one comprehensive and exciting community.
In my adolescence, team sports was my outlet. My haven. I could be myself. I could be bold, confident and jovial. I didn't mind getting dirty or breaking a sweat. I also didn't take myself too seriously. I love a good laugh. A good time. I wasn't the fastest but I didn't let that stop me from reaching the goal at hand. I was resourceful on the court or field, I was competitive but also I found friends for the first time who liked me for me. I could shine bright and my spikiness was quite okay.
My calendar was filled with sporting events and extracurricular activities and I loved every minute of it. Through activities, I created a bond with unlikely people and this time I will always cherish.
When I “arrived at my cross road professionally”, I search for moments in my life that brought me join and wanted to create those times again. At the time, my sister was married, pregnant and had moved Midwest. I felt alone, my friends and loved ones were starting their next chapter.
I was 30 years old and I knew I had more to give professionally and in life. I wanted to channel my grandmother who was an entrepreneur and pastor. She lived her life to the fullest and I wanted to do the same. Helix Social was created through my time traveling. I wanted to bring fitness and health to the community in a creative way. I did the way I knew how which was through social events with the next goal of opening a studio place east of the river in DC.
For me, Helix Social brings together people who love a good time, friendship, community, love & wellness. We want to show the power of community. We want to uplift you any way we can. Life is pulling us in all different directions. At its core all we need is love and to practice compassion for others.
We want to share opportunities for you to workout in ways that aren't stuffy but that build a community environment. We want to get you moving and start your journey to be your best self. What is bad in this world is dominating the airwaves and we want to be that ray of sunshine.
