Our school program is designed to drive kids to be fit by providing an exhilerating assembly in conjunction with a semester-long, weekly physical fitness and nutritional educational class which can be conducted in the homeroom setting. At the end of each semester we conduct a health fair inviting the
community and the schools to come together and celebrate the joy of
being fit.
We offer health and wellness programs for overweight children which are free to low-income families. Any child between the ages of 8 and 17 years old who is at least 25 pounds over the ideal body weight will be eligible to participate in our programs. Classes are held at Max Fitness Academy.
Drive Kids to Be Fit includes several program elements designed to help parents and caregivers help their children improve nutrition and physical activity choices. We encourage family participation and provide great resources full of fun and practical information as well as tips on how to get your family in gear.
Our fitness camp program allows overweight kids to enjoy amazing healthy activities and learn a new way of life. It is our goal to cast 10 youngsters to participate in the filming of their camp journey and share their fitness triumphs for the basis of a reality TV show, the purpose of which is to inspire and educate on a broad scale.
You can count on us to be a resource of information and activities to impact children’s lives for a healthier, happier life. We welcome opportunities to teach and speak to your group and invite you to become involved in our community events such as health fairs, run/walks, fundraising activities and sponsorship opportunities.
We welcome you to view our informative and enlightening videos and invite you to upload your videos for sharing. We Can help prevent childhood obesity.
Max Hany Mikhaiel of Drive to Be Fit and our professional team of experts are dedicated to battling the fight against childhood obesity. With the raising obesity rate in our country, we have founded Drive Kids to Be Fit, a non-profit organization. Our mission is to educate, inspire and provide free fitness and nutritional training, activities, educational materials, as well as family mentoring to promote a healthy lifestyle for kids whose health is at risk from an overweight lifestyle. Latest statistics show that over 30 percent of children and teens (ages 6 to 19) are overweight and 15.5 percent are obese (American Obesity Association).
Healthy eating and physical activity habits are key to your child's
well-being. Eating too much and exercising too little can lead to
overweight and related health problems that can follow children into
their adult years. You can take an active role in helping your child—
your whole family— your school— your community— by teaming us with us to teach healthy eating and physical activity habits that can
last for a lifetime. Call us today at (818) 414-1629.
