Elmwood Fitness Center is excited about our innovative and community based program called “On the Move – Driving to Fight Childhood Obesity”.  This unique program will give school children ages 9-13 an opportunity to learn about health and fitness in a non-competitive environment.  Participating children will have the opportunity to engage in group fitness classes and workout on our custom-made weight training equipment specifically designed for children.  Furthermore, our licensed dietitian will provide healthy nutrition information while our chef educates the children with a healthy cooking demonstration.  Our staff will also perform pre and post measurements and exercise performance to demonstrate the benefits of exercise while keeping all information confidential.
