Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam announced recently the National Foundation for Governors’ Fitness Councils (NFGFC), with Chairman Jake Steinfield, has selected Tennessee for its 2018 DON’T QUIT! fitness campaign.

“Childhood obesity is a serious problem that can follow a child into adulthood. I’ve declared war on this preventable disease and I’m inspired to see elected leaders like Governor Haslam immediately jump on board to join the battle and welcome us into his state”

The NFGFC will deliver a state-of-the-art DON’T QUIT! Fitness Center to three Tennessee schools for demonstrating leadership in getting and keeping students fit. Each DON’T QUIT! Fitness Center includes strength training equipment, cardio fitness equipment, and a multi-exercise, circuit training system. The nomination process opens today and will run through Friday, April 6, 2018.  Anyone can nominate a school by visiting www.natgovfit.org.
