Perhaps you could talk with the "Y" on 33rd St. -- a JHU neighbor. They might be eligible for funding (grants, etc.) that a private or commercial gym would not.
The instructor did not want students to perceive themselves as simply studying the process of change, but to identify their potential as change agents. For their final assignment, students proposed an innovative project to be implemented in Baltimore. They described how they would diffuse the idea using concepts learned in class. Several essays were published in the Baltimore Sun. For more information, download the B'more Innovative course syllabus and final project description.
The course was part of the B'more Series intersession program - a 1-week academic program for freshman to introduce them to their adopted home city through interdisciplinary courses based on Baltimore themes. Feel free to post comments about the students essays on the blog or email the instructor (mreese at jhu dot com) to contact a student directly.
