Introduction

Welcome to SWORKIT!

At Sworkit, we envision a world free of childhood obesity. Our mission is to make a positive and long-lasting impact on school-aged children with a goal of decreasing the incidence of childhood obesity over the next decade. We believe partnering with schools will provide the opportunity, support and resources needed to overcome childhood obesity.  Sworkit stands for “SIMPLY WORK IT” — our bodies were designed to move every day and we have designed an innovative experience that makes movement easy and enjoyable. 

The Sworkit Youth Initiative

The Sworkit Youth Initiative was developed in 2018 to offer students across the world free access to developmentally appropriate exercises. We strive to reconceptualize fitness as an empowering, rewarding lifestyle that students embrace and enjoy throughout life. We are dedicated to creating activities that are equitable, diverse and inclusive for children of all abilities and fitness levels. Using an online account, students can customize their workouts by choosing the length, equipment and level of challenge. Click HERE to learn more.

The Sworkit Student Management System

The Sworkit Student Management System gives physical education teachers, coaches and administrators the ability to monitor student progress, develop assessments and collect data as evidence of increased physical activity in physical education.  Additionally, elevate student motivation by offering regular fitness challenges with Sworkit to encourage and progress toward achieving individualized fitness education goals. Annual access to the Sworkit Student Management System may be purchased by your school or district. Click HERE to learn more.

The Sworkit Fitness Education Curriculum

Developed and piloted with top physical education content experts in the field, the Sworkit Fitness Education curriculum is aligned to the National Physical Education Standards (2014) published by the Society of Health and Physical Educators (SHAPE America) and created for use by physical educators as part of a comprehensive, standards-based physical education program.
