Why Volunteer with Blind Fitness Volunteers work alongside Blind Fitness athletes and support them while they accomplish their fitness goals. While their general responsibility is to accompany athletes during the course of a workout or race, on any given day a Blind Fitness volunteer will function as an athlete’s guide and motivator. Ask any Blind Fitness volunteer why they do it, and you’ll hear the same answer: they get back as much as they give, and more!
