We exist to empower our youth of today and to build the self esteem and confidence of our youth for tomorrow.  We strive to instill healthy habits that support a balance between fun, fitness and nutrition.

The center is the vision of founder Ira Green and Thomas Arganese.  Green and Arganese have been helping children improve their health and
self-esteem for many years. Both have over 20 years experience with children and they look forward to helping even more
children here at Blast.

Green is the owner and director of Healthy Kids Camps, a successful residential weight-loss camp in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.  After achieving tremendous success during the summer months, it was clear that children needed continued local support throughout the year.  Blast Wellness was created to give kids the tools and support they need to be successful in reaching their fitness goals.

Blast’s General Manager, Larry Jones, has a BA in physical education and a passion for improving children’s health.

Danielle Brown, Project Manager has worked with children for 12 years in summer camps and as a middle school Spanish and English teacher.  She enjoys watching Blast members improve their fitness and their self-confidence.

Blast is supported by our distinguished medical advisory board.To learn more, click here.
