12 week healthy lifestyle course for children between 10-18 years of age and their families
The program meets 3 days per week for 2 hours. During these 2 hours children workout with trainers and receive education on developing healthy lifestyles
What is Club Fit Kids
Program notebook: 100 plus page book which serves as the road map for healthy eating and movement
Daily health log: Children completed a log for each day of the program. These are reviewed weekly by the training staff
Children put their logs on boards, they review logs together, and help each other solve barriers to healthy eating
Club Fit Kids: Education
There are 5 family weekends during the 12 week program. During these longer family days, families receive the core education on healthy eating and movement
Families move together and try healthy food together on family days

What is Club Fit Kids: Reasearch Children complete
surveys and the changes families make in their approach to food and exercise are assessed
We track physical progress through the session
Through a previous grant partnership, the University of Minnesota helped us to respond to program data and adapt the program for ongoing success.
Recent cycle data highlights: 24 participants◦ Over 70% of the kids completed a 30minute run
by the end of the 12 weeks (most starting at less than 6minutes)
◦ 2 parents completed a 30minute run◦ 1 family with 100% attendance◦ 4 other families with near perfect attendance◦ Several kids returning for a repeat cycle (our data
is showing we need 18 months of engagement)◦ 3 kids going out for a new sport◦ 1 family completed a 5K Run together
Club Fit Kids: Results
◦ Improvements in all physical activity measures
◦ Improvements in weight (wide range of loss with 2lbs-22pounds this cycle) But all patients maintained or lost weight during the 12 weeks, while adding muscle from training
