FM FIT Kickoff Event and Health Fair in Flower Mound

Vendors from various Flower Mound businesses will be on-hand along with Community Activity Center instructors to provide information. Demonstrations along with free Group Exercise classes will also take place throughout this free event. The event will end with the first of our monthly FM fit Walks on the local walking trails at the CAC.

Health and educational sessions will also take place at the CAC on the first Saturday of each month, coinciding with FM Fit walks at various locations around town.

What is FM Fit?

FM FIT is a health initiative started by Flower Mound Mayor Melissa Northern for anyone who would like to commit to making healthy food choices and exercise a priority. The program will be from Saturday, Jan. 7 through Saturday, May 5 and will include several scheduled fitness activities and health events. FM FIT is open to everyone and participants do not need to live in Flower Mound or be members of the Flower Mound Community Activity Center (CAC) to join.

One can join FM FIT anytime during the program by signing and submitting the pledge and listing three personal goals one hopes to achieve while participating in the program. The pledge can be submitted online, or handed-in at any FM FIT event or the CAC.

Through participation, program members have the ability to earn points toward various prizes and be included in a drawing for a free one-year family membership to the CAC, valued at $500. The top point-earner from the adult and senior age groups will win a three-month CAC membership and an iPad. The top point-earner from the kids’ age group will also win a three-month CAC membership in addition to an Xbox Kinect and two fitness-themed games. Flower Mound staff will track participants’ points through event sign-in sheets, the Town’s computer system, and receipts turned in from events not sponsored by the Town.

With 32 miles of equestrian, hike, and bike trails in addition to the myriad of services offered at the CAC, Flower Mound truly has fitness opportunities that ‘fit’ everyone’s lifestyle. For questions or more information, please e-mail fmfit@flower-mound.com.

An FM Fit Celebration Event will also take place on Saturday, May 5 at Rheudasil Park, 2401 Lake Forest Blvd.
