“As a result of 20/20 Kids, I started to ski and won first place in my first race. I can do the monkey bars, the rock wall, and run a lot faster. I can also do math better because I feel more confident.”
“2020 Kids is the single best thing that Joey and I have done for our family. Since she started the program, Angelina has made so many changes. She has gained confidence and self-respect. Every goal she has set for herself, she has achieved.”

“I liked working out with kids who wanted to get healthy like me, and we encouraged each other when it got hard. By exercising every day, I also had more energy… I like the way everyone encouraged us to say how we feel, and it was helpful to listen to my new friends share their experiences. I have made a lot of changes in my life.”
DJ's Parents
“We had tried with limited success to improve DJ’s nutrition and activity levels. The 2020 Kids Program really enhanced that by giving us additional tools and support, but most importantly by helping make this DJ’s cause and not just ours”

"I learned how to play sports I've never played. I'm looking at finding a team sport at school. My old self would have never allowed me to do any of those things."
Kurt's Mother
"The team at 20/20 Kids are talented and caring people. I am indebted to them for changing my son's life."
Samantha
11 years old
"I decided to join 20/20 Kids because things were really hard for me. My running time was getting worse and worse, and I had trouble shopping for clothes. I just did not feel good about myself. I learned a lot from 20/20 Kids about the food guide pyramid, serving sizes, and sugar. Oooooh! I had so much fun learning new games and getting good at them! I became really good at running. 20/20 Kids made me feel much better about myself."
Samantha's Mother
"20/20 Kids has been an incredible experience for Samantha. It encouraged her to take responsibility for her health. We also noticed that her hair and skin were looking healthier, and she started participating much more in class which improved her grades. Being part of 20/20 Kids has been beneficial for our entire family. We have also built relationships with a variety of people at PRO Club that make the facility seem more personal and smaller than it is."
David

"I had gained a lot of weight and I wasn't performing well physically. I was lucky I didn't have serious health problems or teasing at school, but I just wasn't happy with my physical condition. The 20/20 Kids program has been great because I've learned a lot of healthier habits, can participate in sports and activities much easier, and improved my overall health. My mom is happy the whole family has lost weight together. I know the new habits I learned will last a lifetime."
David's Mother
"As parents, we saw every child in the group become thinner and more confident every week. The change that I can appreciate the most is the one that happened in our own home. My husband and I were inspired by the program to finally lose those extra few pounds. David's brother and sister, who were always at a healthy weight, also learned to make better choices with their food selections. Overall, we are a healthier family and we like it this way!"
Chance

"Since I started 20/20 Kids I have been very, very energetic and my eating habits and exercise have changed a lot. I even went down in my clothes more than two sizes. My friends treat me different - they treat me nicer because I can play with them more. My advice is to mealtrack what you are eating because you can look back and see if you made healthy choices or not. Exercise more because you will feel a lot better. Throw away all of your junk food - it is helpful when you don't have any distractions in your house. Try your best and have fun!"
Chance's Mother
"Because of 20/20 Kids's commitment to Chance, and Chance's commitment to 20/20 Kids, Chance has become a role model to people close to her. For example, her teacher started walking four miles a day and eating better telling us "if Chance can do it, so can I!" Thankfully, 20/20 Kids has changed all of our lives in so many positive ways that although at times we miss the junk food, we have no plans to go back. Chance's incredible dedication and positive spirit are a continual source of amazement and inspiration for all of us."
