Youth Force Fitness is  a South Carolina family-based obesity prevention program founded by Ron Emmons, a lifetime steroid-free body builder and personal trainer.

• The purpose of Youth Force Fitness is to create a program within schools that gets children and their parents physically active and that provides them with nutritional information and guidance.
• The goal is to foster an environment for individual fitness goal setting and achievement and to instill a positive outlook on fitness and nutrition that will last throughout children’s lifetimes.
• The program is designed to encourage children to take responsibility for their own health and fitness.

When this program is fully implemented, Youth Force Fitness will be available to all South Carolina families with school-aged children both at home and in schools.

As a school administrator, parent or guardian, you can play an important part in safeguarding the health and fitness of your children and other South Carolinians by doing the following.
