Teaming Up For Fitness (TUFF)

South Carolina ranks number 10 in the nation for childhood obesity, so Aiken Regional Medical Centers has launched a new program to address the problem. Teaming Up For Fitness (TUFF) is designed to inspire families throughout Aiken County to help them commit to eating better, being more active and embracing healthier lifestyles together. This FREE, clinically-based program is for both children and parents, who will learn the same information in separate classrooms.
The TUFF program will start back in august!
