ABOUT US
Teaming up with local fitness experts to create individualized fitness programs and small group instruction.
OUR PROGRAM
Exercise might not literally be magic, but when it comes to physical and mental transformation, it's probably the closest thing we've seen for students. Special-Fit is a fitness and wellness program integrated into daily life routines. Our program was created out of the awareness that the fitness industry, school systems, and community-based programs must deliver the type of opportunities necessary to meet the fitness needs of youth of all ages.
Bay Area Special-Fit @ Open Mind:
Meaningful exercise reduces stress, helps the mind focus, leads to greater productivity, and supports long-term health and happiness. No doubt that a well-exectued fitness program positively impacts student's learning and well-being. That is why Bay Area Special-Fit at Open Mind became the first Specialfit affiliate site. Open Mind specialists collaborate with local fitness experts and Bay Area Gyms; along with school OT and APE programs to create individualized fitness programs, where youth set and work toward personal goals promoting healthy habits and lifestyles.
