The citywide #WALK30 health campaign kicked off in January 2023 to create a pathway for CEOs, organizational leaders, families and individuals to “Take the Healthy Pledge” and inspire others to walk for 30 minutes each day, wherever you are, and then share walking activity and its impacts on personalized social media posts: Houston’s CEOs Take the Pledge to #WALK30.
Many neighborhoods in Houston have low or no access to gyms to improve strength and conditioning. Fit Houston is creating a network of outdoor fitness parks called FitLots throughout the city that will serve as community health hubs for free access to fitness equipment and fitness programming that all Houstonians can benefit from for generations to come. https://fitlot.org/houston2036/
Fit Houston is developing a shared agenda around free physical activity with partners across Greater Houston. Strong partnerships are essential for every community to be well and stay physically active. The Fit Houston Healthy City Initiative meets monthly.
Our Pop Up Fitness events in the community excite and educate people on the benefits of staying active! As a follow up to Pop Up Fitness, we can train community leaders to start free walking programs for sustained physical activity.
