Compass Fitness Program

Most people are aware that children in developed nations are experiencing epidemic levels of obesity, and that this problem is, in large part, associated with physical inactivity. Facilitated by Eric Chessen of Autism Fitness, the Compass Fitness program is designed for participants to develop strength, flexibility, cardiovascular endurance and stamina in a fun group setting. Fitness activities are also an excellent outlet to help youth build social skills and self-esteem. Activities include weight training, circuit training, cardiovascular activities, group games and the importance of nutrition for optimal health.
