Please join us for a LINKS event sponsored by ABCreative. Éric Tomeo – the owner of Trekfit, and a passionate advocate for outdoor physical activity, will be visiting from Quebec Canada to speak to us about the importance of community fitness and educate on strategies to incorporating equipment in parks and public spaces.

His modern approach to outdoor fitness is focused on designing spaces that are inviting to teens and adults of all abilities. This means that a user can be out of shape and needs “easy to approach equipment”, or an A+ level athlete, or a senior citizen in a wheelchair. He goes over the importance of having viable options for all the user groups – and importantly – designing these spaces so that the community actively utilizes them.

Learning Objectives:

1. The Importance of Community Fitness

2. How to Promote Fitness in the Parks of the Future

3. Approaching fitness equipment for all abilities and age ranges

a. Teens are commonly forgotten.

b. How can fitness be approached by those with disabilities?

c. How do get grandma on the equipment.

RSVP by Thursday, September 14th. Course will provide 1.0 continuing education credits. Lunch will be provided. Email Jackie Dietz with any questions at jackie.dietz@forms-surfaces.com.
