FitTober registration is now open

FitTober is for everyone! Movement and physical activity are important for all of us, but it’s hard to be motivated to do it. Once we can start seeing or feeling the benefits of physical activity, it becomes a little easier to keep it up. We will be with you every step of the way. I hope you will join us as we live, work, and move TOGETHER! Registration will remain open through October 4th. For more information and to register, click here.
