UCLA Health Sound Body Sound Mind (SBSM), in partnership with L.A. Care Health Plan, joined the Compton community to celebrate the grand opening of the new Sound Body Sound Mind Fitness Center (SMSS) at Bunche Middle School. This modernized facility will provide more than 300 students with access to a dedicated fitness space, helping to promote healthier lifestyles among local youth.
Only24% of U.S. adults and only 1 in 5 adolescents currently meet the physical activity guidelines. In low-income communities, the barriers are steep, with no safe spaces and no access to physical equipment.

Module 4 is officially halfway complete...
We’re excited to continue expanding the Grow Unwind Connect: Afterschool Wellness Program.
This semester, GUC is proud to partner with three incredible schools: @cechs.asb@bunchemiddle & @davis_generals . Together, we’re creating safe spaces for students to breathe, move, think, and grow through mindfulness, yoga, and life skills.
These photos capture just a few of the amazing students who earned prizes through their participation, consistency, and commitment to building healthy habits. Seeing their smiles, confidence, and excitement reminds us why this work matters.
A special thank you to @comptonunified and the incredible team at @thinktogether for their continued partnership and for helping make this work possible for our students and community.
We are deeply grateful to the educators, administrators, and partners who continue to support this mission. Each module is another step toward expanding wellness access for youth across our community.
The journey continues… 🌱🧠🎯 =========================================

GUC student testimonials…
One of the most meaningful parts of the GUC journey is hearing directly from the students. Their voices remind us why this work matters.
Our goal is simple: plant seeds of wellness early. Through breathwork, movement, mindfulness, and positive mindset practices, we hope to create experiences that students remember long after the program ends. If those seeds grow and one day they choose to step onto a yoga mat again on their own, then we know the impact was real.
These moments and testimonials are special because they are organic, honest, and student-led. They show that when young people are given the space to breathe, move, and reflect, they naturally connect to the practice in their own way.
We are grateful for every student who shows up with curiosity and courage. The positive memories created today can shape healthier choices tomorrow.
A special thank you to @comptonunified and the incredible team at @thinktogether for helping make these opportunities possible for our youth. It truly takes a village.
