Educational/Motivational Materials

To help inspire your members to action, GlobalFit offers two free digital journals: our own GO monthly and IHRSA’s Get Active! quarterly.

GO

GO is GlobalFit’s exclusive online health and fitness newsletter. Each month, GO offers information and motivation to help busy adults fit healthier choices into their daily lives.

Each issue focuses on a particular theme or seasonal observance. Past issues have explored Heart Health, Immune Support and Strong Bones. We also feature special topics, like our “Community” issue to help make good health a priority for their social lives as well as their personal lives.
