After successfully launching D2F in North Carolina, Fitness Forward expanded to Boston and is in the process of establishing sites in New York City, San Francisco, Pennsylvania, and Alabama. D2F reaches more than 10,000 children annually.

A recent study demonstrated that students participating in D2F, relative to their peers, make healthier decisions and are more aware of how to live a healthy lifestyle:

Watch less television
Are more physically active
Are more aware of how to live a healthy lifestyle
Eat more fruits and vegetables
Are tired much less often


As one North Carolina educator explains, "They [the kids] like the rewards, but the best long-term reward is living a healthy lifestyle.
