About
The Fade to Fitness Program is a targeted intervention designed to improve the holistic health and quality of life among Black men. This comprehensive initiative focuses on four key health behaviors: Physical Activity, Healthy Eating, Stress Management, and Depression Management.
It is grounded in psychological and social theories like Self-Determination Theory, Motivational Interviewing, and Social Cognitive Theory. The program emphasizes the importance of making informed choices, feeling competent and connected, and learning through observation and modeling. Facilitators play a pivotal role, leading group discussions, providing support, and fostering an inclusive atmosphere.
The program is structured into weekly sessions that tackle each health behavior, interspersed with off weeks; for community engagement, especially in barbershops, to discuss health topics and promote a healthier lifestyle.
