After experiencing the great benefits of endurance training using walking and cycling, Juan Carlos and Lina Gonzalez started JCL Team in 2011 to encourage other Latino families to come together under a fitness program for the whole family. The JCL Team is a comprehensive family fitness program using local parks to engage Washington Heights/Inwood families in physical activity, while providing educational workshops and race participation to assist in the development of healthier habits and accomplishment of an individual's goal.

The JCL Team invites parents, neighbors and their family members to participate in their family fitness program. The program is open for registration and intended for Latino parents living in Washington Heights and Inwood with children ages 5-12 years old. Participants meet at Tread Bike Shop, 250 Dyckman Street every Tuesday at 5:30 PM and Saturday at 10 AM.
