Action heroes wanted. The future of healthy, happy kids depends on you. Help us take 1 million actions for healthy kids by 2025.
Featured Action
Spread the joy of movement this holiday season.
Movement takes hundreds of forms, but they all have something in common—they improve our physical and emotional health and make us stronger. Give the gift of movement to the kids who need it most by donating today. Peloton will also donate $5 to AFHK when you “Move for More” by taking three short fitness classes by December 19.
