DIAKADI Trainer and DS+P Small Group Class Instructor, Paul Wright, is volunteering his time to speak with the young kids at Dyer Kelly Elementary School in Sacramento about his Jamaican roots, his personal experience through school and sport, his current life and career, New Years resolutions, and favorite subjects in school. He's providing a positive message with conversation and exercise, throwing in fun movement activities in their sessions with Paul.
With the urge to inspire the youth, Wright says,
"My goal of these visits is to leave them with an inspiring FEELING to be as much as themselves as they can be and know that the world is completely THEIRS."
DIAKADI's Commit to Fit (2009 - 2014) is an obesity scholarship program awarded each year to one deserving obese resident of the San Francisco Bay Area with the desire to lose weight and embrace a healthier lifestyle. Each recipient receives a nutrition plan and fitness training program to help them focus on reconnecting with their body through exercise, monitoring of their sleep and stress, the identification of eating strategies and establishing clear and attainable goals.
Our previous Commit to Fit winners have lost up to 180 lbs over the course of their program!
DIAKADI is proud to say that we, and local neighbor tenants, Hennessey Architect, Justin Hess, & Lifted Health & Wellness have joined forces to clean up our surrounding San Francisco streets through the 'Adopt a Street' Program.
In this program, San Francisco's Public Works' joins with neighborhoods and local businesses to assist with sweeping and picking up streets throughout the city. As a business or individual, you are provided with a process, equipment, and assistance to adopt your own street.

Since opening in 2004, DIAKADI has worked together with local artists to host inspiring work within our space in order to assist with motivating our clients during their daily workouts, while also introducing them to the incredibly talented pool of Bay Area artists.
The next time you visit DIAKADI, we welcome you to take a moment, step back and observe the current pieces on display. If you become particularly attached to a piece, you don't have to come all the way to DIAKADI to enjoy it. In true art gallery fashion, all pieces are also for sale.
If you are a local artist and you are interested in displaying your collection within our facility, please drop us an email at info@diakadi.life.
