I thought the army fit challenge was a great way to end our fitness unit and also a great way to motivate students in a different way with physical activity all while learning about different jobs within the army!

Students at Sherburne-Earlville High School very much enjoyed taking part in the U.S. Army Fitness Challenge! The fitness activities were developmentally appropriate as well as fun for our high school students. Our student body also enjoyed interacting with the Army Soldiers and learning about the numerous opportunities the Army has to offer. It was a fun-filled day in which our gym was filled with cheers and smiles!!

This is the second time we have hosted the Army Fitness Challenge, and we love it every time! The kids are more active with the Soldiers than any of our normal activities.

PE Department Head

Ryle High School, Kentucky

It was great to have the Military in to take students through various exercises. It helps bridge the gap for misinformation about what the Military involves and possible career paths. I enjoyed having the students learn more about options outside of college and workforce. The students enjoyed working together and had a lot of fun with the event!
