Youth fitness is essential to combating rising inactivity, excessive screen time and early signs of chronic disease among children. Power Wellness managed centers address these challenges through programs like Kids on the Move, designed to make physical activity both fun and purposeful.
By helping kids build strength, coordination and confidence in a supportive environment, Kids on the Move establishes healthy habits early, creating a strong foundation for lifelong wellness and preventing chronic disease before it starts.
Building Confidence through Youth Fitness
The Kids on the Move program provides a structured, medically integrated approach to youth fitness that welcomes both members and non-members through physician referral. Participants include children and teens with risk factors for cardiovascular disease, diabetes or autoimmune conditions, as well as those recovering from surgery or managing sedentary lifestyles.
Each participant begins with an assessment to identify their current health and activity level. Certified fitness specialists then design individualized programs that help improve endurance, flexibility and overall function in a safe, supervised setting. Beyond physical improvement, these sessions foster confidence, social connection and a sense of accomplishment that keeps participants motivated to move.

Youth fitness programs like Kids on the Move demonstrate the lasting value of medically integrated fitness. By engaging young people in structured, inclusive physical activity, these programs not only improve health outcomes but also strengthen community ties.
One youth participant at CDPHP® Fitness ConnectSM at the Ciccotti Center reflected on their time in the program. “When I started, I had a little confidence, but now I have gained confidence because I kept going.”
