Tsavares and Kalish wrote the application for the grant, he said, with help from the physical education teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Project Fit America is a nationwide fitness initiative that began in 1990 that works with schools to install fitness equipment and to train teachers in a specialized curriculum. It\u2019s goal is \u201cto reverse the lack of fitness in youth and teach children to take personal responsibility for their health,\u201d according to the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Project Fit America came to New York in 2013, when Riverhead Central School District was the first in the state to implement the fitness initiative. The program has been \u201ctremendously successful,\u201d according to Peconic Bay Medical Center, which spearheaded the launch in Riverhead and is behind the push to get the program on the North Fork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peconic Bay Medical Center partnered with local businesses and organizations, including GYMGUYZ East End, JABS, Mattituck Lions Club and Kait\u2019s Angels, to help launch the program on the North Fork. The project costs $17,800 to launch per school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery child deserves the opportunity to grow up active, fit and healthy. This project will impact hundreds of kids for years and years,\u201d said Dayna Corlito, GYMGUYZ East End owner in a story last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In April, GYMGUYZ East End, the Lions and Kait\u2019s Angel\u2019s donated a combined $23,000 to the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CATEGORIES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gymguyz.com\/franchise-opportunities\/about-us\/blog\/categories\/news2\/\">News<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attention Greenport elementary students: prepare to get fit this fall.
