- Introducing TechHawks
Today would like to introduce you to TechHawks, a pilot program in partnership with the Mozilla Foundation’s Gigabit Community Fund to provide Fitnet’s mobile fitness app and iPads to families participating in the University of Kansas Medical Center’s Healthy Hawks program on childhood obesity prevention.
Healthy Hawks is a truly awe-inspiring program that aims to combat childhood obesity by focusing on the entire family unit. They have been providing comprehensive health service program to help Kansas City children, adolescents, and their families overcome issues related to weight since its creation in 2004, and hope to use Fitnet to improve the effectiveness and reach of their program.
During a 12-week program, families from Kansas City will use iPads provided by Fitnet to access Fitnet’s complete range of instructional videos, and work with Healthy Hawks staff to craft their own personalized exercise goals. We hope that Fitnet can provide a solution for these families’ weight management needs and help these families turn the corner on healthy living. We are excited to share the story of this pilot as it progresses and hope that Fitnet can be a positive force that helps combat the growing tide of childhood obesity.
So far we have just begun our process. We have bought the iPads and started coordinating with some local Kansas City trainers. Next time we should have an update on the workout content that we are developing specifically for TechHawks that showcases local Kansas City trainers and helps them connect with these families as they get fit and stay fit.
