A good friend of mine, who swears by FitWit “boot camp”, asked me to post this info about their new camp session that starts on Monday.

Sounds like they are now using DHS during cooler temps, plus they’ve added an evening class that starts at 6p for those of us who just can’t manage the 6a class.  Also I didn’t realize they give discounts to educators, with the biggest discount of all going to CSD employees.  Can’t beat that!

FitWit Fitness Camp – Get in shape & give back to the community!

Next Camp – February 23 – April 3 – Join our fitness camp community and discover why 90% of our campers return and why 70% have never left. Every day presents a new challenge as campers push, pull, lunge, crawl, jump, run, sweat and laugh themselves into the best shape of their lives, and in the process, they meet their new best friends. AND a portion of your camp fee funds The FitWit Foundation – our own non-profit organization that provides free fitness programs for low-income children in Metro Atlanta.  Employees of schools and non-profits (to include universities) first-time sign up at $289 instead of $359 PLUS we’ll donate $30 back to the school or organization for every employee/parent that signs up.  This special rate is not on the website, so email for details.

Want to do your part to support the “Safe Routes to School” program?  Dan Magee fowards this post from the 231 Sycamore blog…

As part of Decatur’s Safe Routes to School Program, the Active Living Division will be conducting it’s first ever Bicycle Safety “Train the Trainers” Session at the Decatur Recreation Center on Thursday, February 26 from 6-8 pm (no charge).

Our goal is to build up a group of trained volunteers to help with the 4th grade Bicycle Safety Training Class that SRTS conducts at Glennwood Academy every year. We want to create a core group of trainers that perhaps can help offer the training at other venues during the year.

The class will be taught by the League of American Bicyclists certified League Cycling Instructor, Jyotsna Vanapalli, who created this course and assisted with the Decatur SRTS Pilot Project.

Please let me know if you are interested. The 4th grade training session is one of the most popular parts of Glennwood’s SRTS program and we want to make educational and fun.
