Hunger &amp; Action focuses on the youth in an effort to provide guidance during developmental times in their lives. The gym offers several programs specifically designed to help troubled youth gravitate to the sport of boxing where they can be exposed to a supportive environment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><em>\u201cThe meaning behind it, to give a little background behind Hunger &amp; Action, hunger was the desire for something, just wanting something bad enough.

The mission behind Hunger &amp; Action is to share the message that anything can be overcome as long as we set our minds to it, and being physically active while doing so can have an incredible impact. As a result of Hunger &amp; Action\u2019s genuineness, it has been voted Best Gym of NWA three years in a row.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>Remaining Authentic<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Hunger &amp; Action also offers classes for members of all ages from elementary school students to adults and senior citizens. Its daytime boxing and fitness classes are for members to receive an intense shorter exercise session, whereas its evening classes are more focused on the youth and offer a variety of fitness activities like punching bag work, jump roping, running, and footwork drills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Additionally, Hunger &amp; Action has a more generic class where kids and parents can receive their exercise for the day while also building good habits like hard work and discipline. Moreover, the gym offers a competitive space for amateur and pro boxers, helping to provide a platform for the sport of boxing to develop across the state. In the future, Hunger &amp; Action hopes to continue to be authentic as its brand grows and to eventually have a building of its own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><em>\u201cI think we were received really well by the community\u2026We don\u2019t have all the bells and whistles.
