Commit To Fit
Staying Healthy…
While Special Olympics Pennsylvania (SOPA) training and competition is currently suspended, we are proud to be offering a daily virtual workout program for athletes. See the details below and check back often for updates!
COMMIT TO FIT DAILY WORKOUT PROGRAM
SOPA is beyond excited to announce the launch of our brand new Commit To Fit daily workout program. While we cannot train and hold competitions right now, that doesn’t mean we can’t all stay healthy and active together through the below-mentioned program. This is a great way to help everyone stay connected! Here’s what to expect from our Commit To Fit workout program:
- Daily Workout Videos: You can follow along with us across all of our social media channels at 10:30 a.m. EST, Monday-Friday.
- LIVE Workout Sessions: Every Monday and Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. EST.
- Collaboration with Special Guests: Join in on the fun with our athletes, coaches, volunteers, celebrity ambassadors and SOPA staff as we all Commit To Fit together!
Commit To Fit lauched on Tuesday, March 24 with the first installment of our daily exercise video series, and will continue every weekday thereafter.
You can find the daily workout videos on any of our social channels: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and WordPress. And, our LIVE workout training sessions will be broadcast every MONDAY and WEDNESDAY on our Facebook page at 7:00 p.m. EST.
We realize this is a difficult time for everyone; and, we miss hanging out and training with our SOPA family as much as anyone. So, we are hopeful that you will join us on this fitness journey so that we can all be in the best shape possible for when competition resumes!
