Our Vision

NAFTA believes that through fitness and health education we will see a decline in obesity and other lifestyle diseases that are preventable. Through educating people and really starting in grammar school, we will empower people to become physically active and committed to healthy lifestyle choices. NAFTA is a firm believer in starting as early as grammar school, where the teachers receive education through organizations such as NAFTA and they in turn educate the children in healthy living!
