Participants are evaluated and weighed, fat percentage and body mass index are measured, with personalized monthly monitoring. Additionally, aerobics, zumba classes, kick boxing classes and Nutrition, Health and Wellness talks are offered; in order to educate the Puerto Rican consumer to work towards a better quality of life.
A group of certified professionals leaded by José “Chewi” Candelario train and motivate all members. More than 2,100 people are currently active, with an overall achievement of 7,000 pounds lost in the past two years. The “Walk it or Run it with Nestlé” program is used as an opportunity to meet the needs, preferences and lifestyles of our consumers, while it serves as forum to communicate our institutional philosophy known as the “High Five”, which consists of five steps that lead us to a happier and healthier life. These five steps are: Eat Healthy, Control Portions, Be Active, Check your Health and Be Happy. It is our goal to keep working hard to provide necessary tools and educate Puerto Ricans about the importance of preventive health care, thus achieving our goal of promoting a healthy Puerto Rico.
