Get Your Family Fit with Freehold Learning Center

Freehold families have the opportunity to learn about health and fitness together during the ’s (FLC) Family Fit Night.

Christopher Naspo, the health and physical education teacher at FLC started this event last year to educate families in the district. “I wanted to create an opportunity for families to not only learn about nutrition and fitness but to have to participate in activities where they can move and exercise together,” he explained.

The event is free and will be on Thursday, March 15 from 6-8:00 p.m. All families in the Freehold Borough School District are invited to this annual event.

“I came up with this idea last year in an effort to address childhood obesity. I believe that the most powerful way to stop this problem is to commit to a healthy lifestyle as a family,” said Naspo.

According to Naspo, the goal of the event is to empower all families to make healthy decisions and sustain healthy lifestyles. It will also create opportunities for families to connect and support each other in their efforts to be healthy. 

During the event, families will be able to exercise and move together during these gym activities including family fitness stations, active family games, Zumba and line Dancing

Vendors and community leaders will host an information fair for families to educate themselves on their health. Participants include Health Awareness Center, Circle of Wonder, , Dr. Laliberte of and blood pressure screenings by Nurse Bernazzoli.

Families can also participate in workshops. There will be two healthy cooking demonstrations; one by the 5 Star Café and a second demonstration by Chef DeMIlta, the Executive Chef from Seven Bar and Grill, in Manhattan New York. There will also be Nutrition 101 for families presented by Eve Cannon, a Nutrition Expert and Holistic Health Coach.

Participants will also enjoy a turkey or chicken wrap or the yogurt bar, go home with student inspired recipe cards and much more.
