Participating in the Be Fit program increased the camaraderie in our group as we all shared common goals to get fit and lose weight.  It was great that the weekly team meetings were held in our office space.  It was convenient for our group and one less obstacle to interfere with participating on a weekly basis. – Participant (Be Fit 44)

I really appreciate the opportunity to be involved in this great program! What a benefit provided to us by MGH. It was the incentive I needed to get going again and spend some time thinking about myself and my health – Participant (Be Fit 44)

It has been a privilege to have MGH offer this benefit to the employees here ... the tools and resources provided have assisted me changing my overall knowledge and approach to healthy living will carry me through life long after the program ends. It has also benefited the practice I work at, as I've noticed that all member of our team have demonstrated a closer connection; that sense of "team" carries over to our every day interaction with each other within the practice.  –Participant (Be Fit 45)

​ I am taking the nutrition information home to help the rest of the family eat healthy.  I am glad I was able to be part of this great program. Thank you for the support and for working as a team with us, the Latino Community! – Fanny Lopez (Be Fit 45)
