FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
<h2>Manisha Pathak Launches Campaign for Fremont City Council District 4</h2>
FREMONT, Calif. - Manisha Pathak has officially launched her campaign for the Fremont City Council District 4 seat, bringing nearly two decades of technology experience, years of community service, and a strong commitment to practical, people-centered local leadership.
A longtime Fremont resident, Pathak has lived in the Mission San Jose and South Fremont area for more than 20 years and raised her family in the community. She currently serves the City of Fremont as a Senior Peer Counselor and has been actively involved in mental health support, neighborhood engagement, nonprofit leadership, cultural programs, and services benefiting local families.
Pathak is also the founder of a Fremont-based nonprofit that supports community connection, cultural education, and educational opportunities for underprivileged girls. Professionally, she brings approximately 20 years of experience in the Silicon Valley technology industry, where she has worked with engineering, product, operations, and executive teams to solve complex problems and improve organizational performance. Her early professional experience also included an internship with NASA.
&ldquo;My family and I have called Fremont home for more than two decades,&rdquo; Pathak said. &ldquo;I am running because I want to give back to the city that has given us so much. Fremont deserves thoughtful, accessible, and collaborative leadership that listens to residents and focuses on practical solutions.&rdquo;
Pathak&rsquo;s campaign will focus on three principal priorities: developing a humane and thoughtful response to homelessness, strengthening public safety through prevention and partnerships and advancing practical and locally focused environmental sustainability.
Her public safety approach emphasizes stronger collaboration among residents, schools, law enforcement, first responders, mental health professionals, and neighborhood organizations. She also supports traffic safety improvements, emergency preparedness, Neighborhood Watch programs, and preventive services that address community concerns before they become crises.
On environmental issues, Pathak supports responsible solutions that protect Fremont&rsquo;s natural resources while recognizing the everyday needs of residents and local businesses. Her approach includes expanding green spaces, improving neighborhood cleanliness, encouraging sustainable development, and helping households reduce their individual carbon footprints through practical measures.
Pathak also believes Fremont must address homelessness with compassion, accountability, and coordination. She supports connecting unhoused residents with mental health services, addiction treatment, temporary and supportive housing resources, employment assistance, and other programs that can help people achieve long-term stability.
&ldquo;My campaign is about bringing people together,&rdquo; Pathak said. &ldquo;Our residents may have different backgrounds and perspectives, but we share a common interest in safe neighborhoods, strong families, responsible growth, and a city government that is responsive to the people it serves.&rdquo;
Pathak plans to meet with residents, neighborhood leaders, educators, small-business owners, public-safety professionals, environmental advocates, and community organizations throughout the campaign. She is committed to running an inclusive campaign that welcomes ideas and participation from residents across District 4.

Manisha Pathak Launches Campaign for Fremont City Council District 4

Many students rely on school menstrual product dispensers during unexpected situations, yet these extremely essential resources + dispensers are often overlooked. When I noticed that the dispensers on my campus were outdated, frequently empty, and still displayed the 25&cent; labels from before California's AB 367 made menstrual products free in public schools, I knew something needed to change.
So, for my Girl Scout Gold Award, I chose to advocate for menstrual equity and equal access to feminine hygiene products!
Rather than simply replacing the dispensers, I wanted to address the larger issue of ensuring students had consistent, reliable access to these products. I began by raising awareness about the condition of the existing machines and advocating for community support to create a lasting solution. By sharing the importance of this issue with local organizations, school clubs, community members, and adults who wanted to support the cause, I was able to raise the funding needed to make my project possible.
We were able to successfully replace the outdated dispensers with new, functioning ones and make these free products more accessible to our students!
Finally, to ensure the project creates lasting change, I also worked with custodial staff to establish ongoing maintenance and restocking of the dispensers.
Although the project has received positive feedback since the new dispensers were installed, I hope its greatest impact is demonstrating the power of advocacy. If you ever notice something in your community that needs to change, don't be afraid to speak up and stand up for what's right! My hope is that others will turn advocacy into action, because one person willing to raise their voice can inspire change and end up benefiting an entire community!

Personal Training with Unlimited DEXA and VO2 Max

Custom Fit

Most training programs run on guesswork. Custom Fit replaces it with measurement. At its San Francisco studios, Personal Training and Partner Training memberships include unlimited DEXA body-composition scans and VO2 max testing — diagnostics usually sold one scan at a time or reserved for specialized clinics. Custom Fit members can test as often as they train. The reasoning is straightforward. A DEXA scan measures fat, lean muscle, and bone density with clinical precision. A VO2 max test measures the body's maximum oxygen uptake, one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular fitness and long-term health. Run those tests on a regular cadence and a member can see exactly what is changing, where, and whether a program is working — rather than relying on the scale or the mirror. That is the idea behind Custom Fit's positioning: not a gym, a performance lab. Every program is built from a member's measured body composition and cardiovascular capacity, then adjusted as the data moves. The goal is to eliminate the guesswork that defines most fitness routines and to treat training as something you can verify. The model also brings longevity diagnostics that usually live in concierge medicine into a routine training week. Body composition and cardiovascular capacity are central markers of how well a person is aging, and regular testing keeps those numbers visible rather than treating them as an occasional, expensive add-on. Custom Fit operates in Hayes Valley (323 Octavia Street), on Market Street (1844 Market), and with a Downtown San Francisco location on Battery Street (570 Battery) opening soon. Personal Training, Partner Training, and select memberships include the testing. More information is available at customfitsf.com.
