What is FitArlington?

Led by Arlington County Board Member J. Walter Tejada and School Board Member Ed Fendley, the vision of FitArlington is to be a community in which being healthy and fit is a way of life for people of all ages and abilities. Check out FitArlington Goals, Partners and Contacts.

Mission was based on input from Community Dialogues:

• Maximize existing opportunities to promote physical activity
• Promote a comprehensive calendar of events
• Provide incentives/ recognition for physical activity
• Empower people to be fit
• Promote policy and models for active living

The Community will influence the policies and community planning to support physical activity as a lifestyle.

Goals:
-Engage volunteers to develop and lead outreach programs
-Focus on the benefits and enjoyment aspects when promoting a culture of physical activity
-Focus on the physical dimension of the wellness wheel
-Promote physical wellness as a lifestyle, by encouraging nutritious eating and physical activity
