Fit start

History

I started this program to help young women build self-esteem and establish healthy habits in their adolescent years.

Specialties

At Fit Start is a program that teaches age-appropriate exercise, basic nutrition, self-esteem and emotional health to middle school and high school-aged girls. The adolescent years are crucial years in the prevention of eating disorders, body image issues and a critical time to build self-esteem and teach young women to respect their bodies. After participating in a challenging group fitness sessions girls will have the chance to discuss basic nutrition, teaching the importance of kindness, self-awareness, empowerment, acceptance of one's body, the potential dangers of social media and teaching young women to make good choices. Fit Start is owned and taught by Mary Stevens who has a degree in Exercise Physiology and a masters degree in Clinical Social Work. She has over 12 years of experience teaching group fitness and ballet barre classes and has worked with children and teenagers in different clinical settings.
