This grant program will cover the cost of the following programs for a chosen employer in Central New York:

• Clinic for all employees; which includes a gait analysis and recommendations for proper supportive equipment from our FIT experts.
• Lunch & Learn classes catered to your employee’s needs. Topics can range from Good Form Running, Stretching Properly, Nutrition Tips, etc.
• A ten week 5K Learn to Run program for ten of your employees beginning in September in our No Boundaries training program.

The chosen winner for the grant will receive all of these at no charge! This could be a great way for employers to kick start their employee fitness programs, or enhance their already existing one. As an employer, you won't want to miss out on this opportunity, valued at $1,500. As an employee, you won't want to miss out on the opportunity to meet your fitness goals, and help your colleagues meet theirs as well.
