Happy New Year!

At the beginning of each New Year, many people look to set new goals or resolutions to improve their lives. I want to take a moment to introduce you to a great opportunity to improve the quality of your life with a program initiated by the City of Mesa and several community partners, Mesa Fit City Challenge.

Mesa Fit City Challenge is a citywide initiative to improve the health and fitness of our community. The goal of Fit City Challenge is to educate, motivate and support individuals to make lifestyle changes in their dietary and exercise habits in order to improve overall health and aid in the prevention of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other chronic conditions.

Through the coordination of the Mesa Parks, Recreation and Commercial Facilities Department and their sponsors, the Fit City Challenge encourages Mesa residents to be active and involved while spending time with family and friends in a variety of community-based activities. Success will be measured one step at a time as individuals make the commitment to live healthier lifestyles by simply doing more than they did the day before. 

To encourage all ages to challenge themselves to make a healthier change in their lifestyle, the Parks, Recreation and Commercial Facilities Department will extend a monthly challenge activity to the community. Look for each month to differ in its activity and focus.

I invite you, and all your family members, to join me and my family in making a New Year’s Resolution, to become more physically active and healthier during the next 12 months by becoming a member of the Mesa Fit City Challenge!

Let’s all "move" towards a healthier, more active lifestyle this year, and for many years to come. Register yourself, your family and your friends for the Fit City Challenge.

Thank you,
Christopher J. Brady
