Success Stories

I have begun a weekly yoga practice with a yoga school I learned about through the Fun, Fit & Free program. My body feels great and I now have a regular fitness routine built into my week, all thanks to Fun, Fit & Free!

I have been in the Fun, Fit, & Free program from its inception.  At the age of 47, my doctor diagnosed me with arthritis and osteoporosis. I am now approaching 57 years of age. I do not have to take medication and my blood pressure is normal.  If you are true to the health program, you will see and feel the results.  I thank Mayor Street, Gwen Foster, and the Mayor?s Office of Health and Fitness for the Fun, Fit & Free! program.  I pray our next mayor will help keep Philadelphia a healthier city!

There is no better program available for the money.  Thanks to the Fun, Fit & Free! program I have lost weight, I'm  in better shape, and feel very good.

I lowered my cholesterol from 236 to 183 by eating a vegetarian diet and reading the nutrition labels. My weight has stayed in the normal range because of my vegetarian diet. I feel lighter and stronger since I became a vegetarian.

Since participating in Fun, Fit & Free in July 2007, I have seen a reduction in my weight, glucose, and blood pressure. My favorite Fun, Fit & Free activities are line dancing, West African dance, and Lunch and Learn lectures. I have more energy, people say I look healthier, I sleep better, I move throughout life with less stress, and I encourage others to participate in Fun, Fit & Free! because of what I have learned.
