Youth N2 Fitness, Inc. is a 501 c3 non-profit organization that focuses on enhancing children's physical and nutritional habits in creative ways that unite fun and exercise in a meaningful manner. The mission of our corporation is to provide a comprehensive exercise and nutritional program which will enhance self-esteem, confidence, and a healthy lifestyle for today's youth. Since the establishment of our organization in January of 2006, YouthN2Fitness main objective has been to reduce the high percentage of childhood obesity, while actively helping to prevent obesity as a whole. Our programs focus on teaching children endurance, flexibility, agility, and hand-eye coordination through activities that incorporate Kinesthetic training, exercise, sports, dance and yoga.
The organization includes a nutritional program to monitor and evaluate the youth's eating habits thus promoting a healthier way of living. At Youth N2 Fitness, our motto is “Keeping Kids fit, Inch by Inch”. Because we believe that today’s youth, is tomorrow’s future and without good healthy habits, coupled with physical activity, those futures could be in grave danger.
Over 9 million children 6-19 years of age are either overweight or obese. The contributing factors are directly related to fast food, fried food and the way meals are being prepared in the home, and most importantly, their lack of exercise. Moderate physical activity of 30-90 minutes is a daily requirement, but is often neglected because of technological trends. These trends have taken over society and time that should be allocated to physical activity, are dedicated to video games, television, cell phones, internet, etc and 43% of those adolescents watch more than 2 hours of television per day. Thus, continuing to crown obesity king of contributing to childhood deaths.
We are committed to combining creativity with physical/nutritional components in fun ways!
