A new program lends support to the
families of deployed members of the National Guard and Reserve by helping them
lead healthier, more active lifestyles.
First Lady Michelle Obama and the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports
& Nutrition have announced the new fitness initiative in support of
America’s National Prevention Strategy as well the First Lady’s initiatives,
Let’s Move! and Joining Forces.
The program partners with trade
associations representing fitness professionals and health clubs. The associations are providing free services
such as personal training, fitness instruction and free 6-month health club
memberships for certain family members of deployed Reservists and National
Guard members. Clubs may also provide
additional benefits such as childcare, children’s programming, group classes,
discounts for veterans, and discounts for active duty families.
Service members and their families can
learn more online about this effort and find participating fitness instruction.
They can also find participating clubs online.

Forces and how military families can lead healthier and more active lifestyles,
