TechFit

Founded by Glen and Felicia Lloyd in 2022, TechFit is a health and technology resource center for the North Memphis community. TechFit’s mission is to empower its community by providing essential skills in technology and promoting holistic health practices. On the wellness side, Felicia teaches low-impact physical training courses and consults clients on diet and nutrition. With a background in information technology, Glen teaches software certification classes. The CRA renovated the blighted building at the corner of 2nd Street and TM Henderson Ave where TechFit currently leases space for implementation of its programs. Previously a church and corner store, the building required a full interior rehab in preparation for its new use. This project aligns with key goals and recommendations in the Uptown Community Plan related to supporting local businesses and entrepreneurs, as well as preserving historic assets and maximizing the use of existing infrastructure.
