True fitness is about so much more than exercise and looking good. It’s about making daily decisions to improve our health in ways that we can personally control. That is why I’ve made it my mission to provide DC residents with as many free resources as possible, to help every person, across all 8 wards, strengthen their body, calm their mind and realize healthier outcomes in their community. I encourage all everyone in the District to be a champion of 3 and to use FITDC as their go-to source for free, high-quality health and wellness.
