Leveling the Playing Field: Bevel Partners with Double Dutch Aerobics to Fuel Growth in Atlanta's Fitness Scene

In today's fast-paced world, staying fit and healthy has become a top priority. But for communities of color, equal access to fitness opportunities is a luxury few can afford. That's why Bevel's $25,000 grant to Double Dutch Aerobics, an innovative fitness business based in Atlanta, comes as a breath of fresh air. The partnership is a testament to the brand's commitment to empowering the community, rather than just providing products. Founded by world champion Michelle Clark and master instructor Sean Clark, Double Dutch Aerobics has been shaking things up in the fitness scene since its inception. What sets them apart? Their inclusive approach, which welcomes people of all ages and skill levels, making fitness accessible to everyone.

Bevel, a men's grooming brand-turned-philanthropist, has been on a mission to provide quality products tailored to Black men's needs. But is this grant just a drop in the ocean? Or will it create a lasting impact? As the grantee, Double Dutch Aerobics will use the funds to expand its business, creating more opportunities for health and wellness in Atlanta. What will this growth look like? Will it lead to more job opportunities, or simply perpetuate the cycle of gentrification? Bevel's commitment to financial empowerment is a form of social control. The brand's focus on innovation and growth is just a way to absorb the wealth and influence of the community. The grant is just the beginning. The real question is, what will happen next?
