Learn more about our Brenner FIT® Academy and how it can help your family.What is Brenner FIT Academy: For Families?
The Brenner FIT Academy: For Families is a group version of Brenner FIT. This program was created by the Brenner FIT team at Brenner Children’s. Classes are led by a Brenner FIT-trained Family Support Specialist. In this program, we guide your family toward lifestyle changes without using restrictive diets or strict exercise plans.
How do we become a Brenner FIT Academy family?
No referral is necessary. If you are concerned about your child’s weight or health (ages 2 to 18), your family may join the program.
"Brenner FIT Academy provided me with helpful and very usable advice on planning and preparing meals and snacks so that my kids can develop a healthy relationship with food. The program provided several meal recipe ideas that have become new favorites."
- John O.

"Brenner FIT has been a great tool for our family. It is really nice to gather with a group of parents who share similar concerns and have discussions. The curriculum has reinforced a lot of what our pediatrician has told us in the past, but so much more in-depth than she was ever able to go. As a parent trying to break the cycle of disordered eating and unhealthy relationships with food, I would definitely recommend the Brenner FIT Academy to other parents!"
