We are on a mission to improve and enhance the lives of children and their families by educating them about the importance of exercise and nutrition using our innovative approach to being COOL.

Program Advancement

In January of 2008, Mark Hernandez and Chandon Thorell created Specific Fitness, an LLC partnership in Arizona that provides individual personal training sessions and group fitness camps for adults and children of all ages.  Specific Fitness began providing Physical Education instructors for Villa Montessori Middle School in Fall 2008. Shortly after, an enrichment class was added during the school day, called the After COOL Fitness Program (ACF).

Due to the success of After COOL Fitness, the program quickly expanded to six additional schools and two new school districts. After COOL Fitness program offerings also increased to before, during and after school. As an enhancement to the ACF program, Specific Fitness also provided a day of Physical Education at Mohave Middle School and Orangedale Junior High School. In addition, hundreds of incoming seventh grade students at Orangedale took part in a Specific Fitness sponsored team-building event.

After COOL Fitness has grown into a company on its own and now reaches over 40 schools.  The change was made possible by the addition of Jennifer Solomon to the ACF team and has allowed for this and further expansion of the program.
