Fit for Life

dscf0080 Learning healthy habits early in life is critical for lifelong health outcomes. And that is why the Urban League of Greater Chattanooga has expanded its health outreach programming directly to at-risk children in our community. The Friends In Training for Life (FIT for Life) program was launched to reduce the prevalence of obesity and diabetes among urban youth by offering fitness and nutrition classes to children in grades 3-8 at three urban elementary schools: Orchard Knob, Dalewood and Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy. The pilot program served 150 students in 2009-2010 school year and provided hour long fitness classes twice per week after school; monthly cooking classes for parents of participants; monthly nutrition classes after school; and seminar sessions to teach participants about healthy food choices.

Impact:

Student surveys showed a 15% improvement in balance from pre measurements.
Student surveys showed a one day increase in number of days participants are physically active per week.
