🎉 Congratulations to Gila River Indian Community’s Newest Certified Personal Fitness Instructors! 💪🏽

We are proud to introduce and celebrate the newest group of Certified Personal Fitness Instructors serving the Gila River Indian Community!

Representing Gila River Health Care Life Center, Tribal Recreation & Wellness, and Community Services District 3, District 4, and District 5 Recreation, these dedicated individuals came together with a shared purpose: to strengthen their knowledge, expand their skills, and better serve the health and wellness needs of our Community.

Through training with the Native American Fitness Council, this group invested in more than a professional certification—they invested in our people. By developing knowledgeable fitness professionals throughout Gila River, we are building greater access to safe, effective, and culturally relevant opportunities for movement, physical activity, and healthy living.

This collaboration is what community wellness looks like: departments and districts working together, sharing resources, building capacity, and creating opportunities for our people to live healthier lives.

Please join us in congratulating GRIC’s newest Certified Personal Fitness Instructors! 👏🏽👏🏽

We are excited to see the knowledge, energy, and leadership you bring back to your programs and the Community.

Movement is medicine. Community is strength. ❤️
