FIT Together Program Launches at Franciscan Health Michigan City: A Six-Week Fitness Initiative for Families with Children

The FIT-Together program by Franciscan Health Michigan City is now open for registration. This six-week fitness program is designed specifically for families with children aged 8 to 15, with the goal of improving the overall well-being of every family member.

The program emphasizes healthy choices in physical activities, relationships, and emotional health. Activities include family-centered exercises led by Trainer Ron Gaston, cooking and meal preparation sessions with Chef Nakia, and discussions about nutritional facts. Participants will also receive weekly meal kits for their entire household.

Throughout the program, participants will learn the seven Cs of family resilience, which include control, competence, coping, confidence, connection, character, and contribution. FIT-Together sessions will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from June 4 to July 18, from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time at The Temple Total Fitness Center in Michigan City. Comfortable clothing and gym shoes are recommended for all sessions.

The success of this program is made possible through partnerships with Franciscan Health Michigan City, General Insurance Services, Bowen Center, Kia Can Cook, and The Temple Total Fitness Center. While the program is free, registration is required. For more information or to register for the FIT-Together program
