The goal of FLY Fitness is:

To transform the
lifestyle of today’s
youth through an
effective program
of fitness & nutrition.

Fitness as a Lifestyle for Youth (FLY) is an innovative health, nutrition and fitness program geared towards school-aged individuals and implemented through schools or other youth-based organizations. 

In an age where American society suffers from an epidemic of poor health and nutrition, FLY provides an alternative for all students, both athletic and non-athletic, to learn critical life skills in the areas of food and fitness. FLY emphasizes fun, affordability and accessibility.  FLY has worked successfully as an after school program in a suburban private school, an urban public school and an urban community center. The structure of the FLY program adapts easily to the specific needs of each community.

Professionally certified trainers and educators run the FLY Program, through whom students gain exposure to the basic principles and techniques that form the foundation of a healthy lifestyle.  Because both fitness & nutrition are crucial for long-term wellness, the FLY curriculum alternates instruction of fitness-related components with hands-on nutritional experiences for a comprehensive approach to health.  

Possible activities include sports as well as yoga, strength training, ultimate Frisbee, aerobics, spinning and hip-hop dance. 

“Food” Days provide an opportunity for FLY participants to learn the importance of good nutrition while they gain practical experience in food preparation. Through hands-on cooking classes as well as trips to restaurants and grocery stores, students participate in realistic situations which equip them with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions about their eating habits.
