Roll 2 Walk at South Austin Athletic Club

I estimate it would take almost 20 years to attend one nightly event for each of the more than 6,000 public nonprofits in Central Texas (see previous post).

So I’m grateful when a nonprofit unfamiliar — to me — holds a social gathering not three blocks from our house. And at a convenient hour.

Roll 2 Walk, an aggressive recovery program which helps people transition from traditional physical therapy into gyms such as the South Congress Athletic Club, is the latest to cross my radar.

I met executive director Keith-Ann Steed and talked at some length with social connector Tracy Frazier.

The match between charity and facility — formerly the Austin Rehearsal Center under the SoCo retail strip — seemed comfy.

The whole project sounds worthy. And the South Congress gym regulars mingled merrily around light drinks and snacks.

Bonus: If I ever decide to join a gym — trading the social interaction for the solitude of our improvised garage workout zone — I have my eye on no-nonsense South Congress.
