KIDS PROGRAMS

MAKING A DIFFERANCE IN KIDS LIVES

The ABY Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2015 by Head Coach Al Franco, is dedicated to empowering children dealing with obesity and diabetes. Our mission is simple yet powerful: get kids active, healthy, and confident through fun, structured fitness programs that prevent future health issues and build lifelong habits.

We offer free boxing and fitness programs specifically for kids under 12 who need help losing weight and improving their well-being. At Warzone Boxing Club (Upland and Rialto locations), these sessions use age-appropriate, non-contact boxing drills, cardio, strength exercises, and group activities to make fitness exciting and effective. Kids learn discipline, coordination, self-defense basics, and most importantly—how to enjoy moving their bodies.

Key Benefits for Kids in Our Programs

Safe, fun weight loss through high-energy boxing workouts that burn calories and build muscle.
Improved physical health to help manage or prevent diabetes and obesity-related challenges.
Boosted confidence, focus, and self-esteem from achieving goals and positive coaching.
Stronger social skills and friendships in a supportive, family-like gym environment.
No cost to families—everything is provided free so every child who needs it can participate.

Beyond Boxing: Full Support for Active Lifestyles

We don't stop at boxing. The ABY Foundation goes further by affording kids the opportunity to join other organized sports and activities. We cover the costs for things like football, baseball, jiu-jitsu, and more—so children can explore different ways to stay active, build teamwork, and develop well-rounded skills. This comprehensive approach helps create balanced, healthy lifestyles outside the gym too.

Our programs emphasize fun, encouragement, and real results. Many kids who start feeling overweight or low on energy leave our sessions stronger, happier, and more motivated to make healthy choices every day.
