BLACKLISTLA COMMUNITY SPACE
Invest in LA's New Home for Movement & Wellness
Since 2013, BlacklistLA has been dedicated to building community from the streets of Los Angeles. Through running and physical fitness, we strive to connect people to the art and culture of this great city. Now, we’re excited to announce we are opening a physical space.
The
BlacklistLA Community Space will be a new home for movement. A new home for wellness. A new home for creativity.
Like everything we do, the space will be community-led and accessible to all.
Picture a place where runners, artists, and neighbors of all kind have their own space to move, to work, and grow together. That's our home.
We’re raising $100,000 to open the BlacklistLA Community Space.
Your support covers our first year in this new home. Every dollar goes to the essentials that keep us moving: rent, staff, utilities, equipment. No gimmicks. No fine print. Just real investment in a space built for our community, by our community.

Why It Matters
Los Angeles is a resilient, world class city with unbeatable culture, food, and energy. It really has everything. The one thing it doesn’t have enough of is accessible, open space. It’s surprisingly hard to find a place where wellness and art can exist together in a way everyone can actually enjoy. The BlacklistLA Community Space fills that gap.
This space isn’t a luxury. It’s a community resource. We’re building a place that keeps people healthy, grounded, and connected through year-round programming that centers wellness, creativity, and belonging.
Every dollar raised goes straight into the essentials that make this possible: rent, staff, utilities, insurance, equipment, and the programs our community relies on. With this support, BlacklistLA can continue serving thousands of Angelenos every year, for free or at donation-based pricing.
The goal is simple. Create something real for the city that raised us.
Bring It Home
This isn't charity.
It's Community in Motion.
Every contribution helps us get one step closer to opening the doors to LA's new home for health, for creativity, and for connection.
