Episode Synopsis

An interview with Jacki Quinlan, Director of Community Outreach at Sports BackersOur warriors are out there recruiting folks to get moving and leading these free fitness classes. They are literally on the frontlines. We have classes in Gilpin Court, where no one else is out leading classes. There's no gyms. There's no, you know, healthy place to go get food. That's where our warriors are.  We go where really no one else has gone to bring physical activity right to the communities that need them the most.Jacki QuinlanReport from the frontlines of the physical inactivity epidemicReaching people where they areDrawing fitness warriors from the communityThe role of social supportFitness warriors making a difference in the communityImplementing the Fitness Warrior train-the-trainer model in other communitiesDiversifying fitnessBringing about sustainable behavior changeThe fitness journeyScaling up affordable programsEvaluating the impact of the Fitness Warriors programhttps://www.movetolivemore.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/move-to-live-more@MovetoLiveMore
