Get Moving Fort Bend


absolutely! HEALTHY LIVING –

 Shape Up Fort Bend, a 100 percent volunteer non-profit organization, believes that Fort Bend County can commit to tackling preventive health issues with various countywide, fun challenges.

Shape Up Fort Bend’s purpose is to promote a healthy lifestyle in Fort Bend County. Originally established as Shape Up Sugar Land in 2007, the organization expanded its scope in 2013 to include all of Fort Bend County. Shape Up Fort Bend’s mission is to connect the community, raise awareness and encourage activities that foster a healthy lifestyle. The organization strives to support and provide all Fort Bend citizens with the resources to make healthy lifestyle choices.

Chair of Shape Up Fort Bend Dr. Eugenia Blomstrom said, “Fort Bend County is known for being a leader, and we can move our county into positive measures to recognize and celebrate all of our Fort Bend cities, organizations, various stake holders and primarily our residents to place a priority on wellness, create powerful partnerships and deep commitments to make lifestyle changes.”

Whether through its Champions of Wellness launch challenging Fort Bend residents to collectively lose one million pounds, encouraging active participation within the community through its Youth Forum or matching residents with local wellness oriented events and organizations, Shape Up Fort Bend promotes the full spectrum of The National Wellness Institute’s six dimensions of wellness: emotional, intellectual, occupational, physical, social and spiritual.
