WHY JOIN?
Staying active with others can be a lot of fun. They’ll help keep you motivated – even when you don’t really feel like it. Groups are a great way to meet new people. There are even programs for people at different activity levels: the Active Lifestyle program aimed at beginners, and the Presidential Champions program for those who are already active.

Signing up for a group is simple. And there’s no limit to how any you can belong to. You can join or leave at any time. All you have to do is register. It’s quick, and there’s no cost just to participate!
