PHIT World focusing on overcoming the Inactivity Pandemic with real, common sense solutions including education and grassroots school-based programming while giving parents tools to get their children more active and moving.

PHIT World is creating more physically active PHIT KIDS who are Healthier and Smarter.
While the name PHIT sounds like FIT, it also has another meaning. PHIT stands for Personal Health Investment Today. We feel we must invest in fitness and sports activities to improve the health of people around the world.
PHIT World is creating a Movement To Be Active, Fit & Healthy, focusing on three major strategies:
The Inactivity Pandemic is deadly. In fact, the World Health Organization lists inactivity as the 4th major cause of death, even ahead of obesity. You can learn about the Inactivity Pandemic here. Please visit our "Roots" of Inactivity web page (here) which describes the reasons and complexity of this issue. You will also notice how PHIT World is focused on 4 of the "root" causes with our strategies and programs.
Do you want to help a child live a healthier life? And, increase their academic performance? Donate to the PHIT World Foundation so we can create more PHIT KIDS. The vast majority of funds received are used directly to expand school-based physical activity programs which get more kids active and off the couch. We create more PHIT KIDS for as little as $5 per child. You can learn more about how your donation is used here.
Another benefit of our efforts, besides getting more children active is to prevent and reduce health care costs. Research by the World Health Organization shows $1 invested in physical activity can reduce health care spending by $3.20. PHIT World wants to redefine health care to have more prevention. True health care has to include improved fitness and activity based initiatives to prevent sick care expenses before they happen.
PHIT World is a 'sister company' to PHIT America, which was launched in 2013. PHIT America is a social welfare organization exempt from tax under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. PHIT World is very fortunate in the early days of the PHIT World Foundation that PHIT America, Inc. is supplying most of the administrative, back office and operation services needed to operate our great cause.
