Fitness and Medicine (FAM) is a Mississippi-based nonprofit dedicated to improving the health and wellness of families through accessible fitness, preventive healthcare, and community support. We understand the unique challenges many Mississippians face: rising rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and limited access to medical resources.

Our programs are designed to meet people where they are, both physically and culturally, emphasizing family participation, community engagement, and practical strategies for everyday wellness. Through group fitness classes, health screenings, nutrition workshops, and educational outreach, we empower families to take control of their health together—one step, one meal, and one community event at a time.

By combining the nationally recognized Exercise is Medicine framework with a focus on family and community, FAM Fitness and Medicine helps Mississippians build sustainable, healthy habits that fit into their daily lives. Our mission is not just to improve individual health but to strengthen communities across the state—because healthy families make healthy towns, and healthy towns make a healthy Mississippi.
