Fit Together
Fit Together intervention follows a clinic and community partnership model for childhood obesity treatment. Children with obesity will receive standard of care obesity treatment from their usual provider and will also receive a referral to an activity program run out of the local community center. Each session delivers a combination of high-intensity individual exercises, sports and games, and unstructured playtime to help children reach the US Physical Activity guidelines of 60min moderate-to-vigorous physical activity daily. There will also be a nutrition activity session offered regularly.
Educational materials
Participants will receive a child-friendly cooking magazine mailed quarterly and a local Parks and Recreation program guide.
