The St. Bonaventure Indian Mission Fitness Center is a vital hub for the Eastern Navajo Nation. For many Diné people, this fitness center is the only one in Thoreau, making it a valuable resource for the community and its surrounding areas.
Over the years, the mission – thanks to donors like you – has provided all the basic equipment for a good workout.
For people living in and around Thoreau, the fitness center provides a convenient and supportive environment that promotes both physical and mental well-being. It also nurtures a supportive and friendly community for its members.
With a good selection of cardio and weight equipment, the service is convenient, accessible, and affordable to those who want and have the time to improve their overall fitness and health.
Indeed, people who come here appreciate the gym’s affordable membership cost and friendly atmosphere.
“I don't know what I would do without the fitness center. Everybody here is so supportive and so nice. It's convenient, and it's just probably my favorite place to be other than home. It keeps me healthy, keeps me grounded.”
The fitness center was named after a fallen U.S. soldier whose memory inspires resilience: Sgt. William C. Stacey. Sgt. Stacey was 23 years of age when he was killed in Helmand province, Afghanistan, during “Operation Enduring Freedom.”
Today, because of Sgt. Stacey’s courage and dedication, people in these parts of the Navajo Nation can come here with their gift of freedom and pursue every opportunity their hearts desire.
