Testimonials
Mr. Miguel's fitness program that was facilitated, with our participants, at the Academies of Excellence 2008 Spring Forward Leadership Camp was both exciting and informational!
All of the camp participants enjoyed the emphasis on physical activity, while developing a better understanding of how to obtain a healthier lifestyle overall.
I would highly recommend the Fit for Me Foundation's fitness program, to any organization that wants to further impact its participants in regards to developing a healthier and more active lifestyle.

The Annual Mayor’s Back to School is a
city-wide event open to economically disadvantaged, school-aged children,
who live in the city of Dallas and attend a Dallas area public school during
the 2007-2008 school year; This year, we distributed over 15,000 school
supply packs to low-income families meeting the 2007 federal poverty income
guidelines. Our goal was to increase awareness and availability of
educational, health, and social services for parents and guardians of school
aged children.
Because of Fit-for-Me Foundation Inc., support, we were able to empower
families on the importance of physical activities. At our booth, over 1000
parents and children engaged in our jump rope, and basketball exercise
routine. The families were willing participants in our activities that many
of them came back for another round. So again, we thank you for your
dedication and look forward to your support on future events.

Festival Hispano de la Salud! The American Heart Association launched
Festival Hispano de la Salud 15 years ago to raise awareness of heart
disease and stroke among the Hispanic community in Dallas. The Health
Festival is set in a fiesta-style atmosphere and provides critical
information to over 20,000 participants about heart health and overall
wellness through a combination of on-hand medical services, demonstrations,
literature, and health screening provided at the Festival.
Getting moving and staying active are essential for proper heart health.
Through interactive entertainment such as dance and fitness demonstrations,
Festival participants can take home simple ways to get moving and have fun
at any age. In our youth area, Fit-for-Me incorporated traditional and
non-traditional methods of activities such as jump rope and dance
demonstrations. Don-Miguel, because of your partnership with American
Heart’s Festival, you added more fun with simple exercise for every age and
fitness level and at this event your support touched over 500 kids…

“Don Miguel provided complimentary fitness demonstrations for our 7th Annual
Oak Cliff SpringFest and the children really loved it! He not only provided
complimentary services but he also volunteered to serve on the planning
committee who helped to produce the event. We were very pleased with his
participation and would extend the invitation again. He does truly care
about improving the health of children and of our community.”

I had the pleasure of working with Don Miguel and the Fit-for-Me Foundation
in January 2007 through the Urban League’s EDGE program. We were planning a
special health event, S.H.A.P.E., to encourage high school juniors and
seniors to “Stay Healthy and Positive Everyday.” Don Miguel worked with us,
step by step, through the planning and implementation of the event. He was
truly resourceful in networking with other health-related entities to bring
to our event sport celebrities and nutrition experts. Fit-for-Me even
provided very nice give-a-way items to the participants. Our students still
rank this event as one of the best of the year. S.H.A.P.E. 2007 was a big
success, thanks to Don Miguel and the Fit-for-Me Foundation.

Fit-for-Me Foundation Inc. was an integral part in the Katy Trail Kid Walk.
The warm-up activities they did with the kids were entertaining and fun at
the same time getting them ready to participate in extended physical
activities. The kids loved it! We will incorporate Fit-for-Me Foundation
Inc. into all our special events.
