Our Name, RoCo Fit is short for Rogers County Fitness. As everyone in Rogers County, Oklahoma, knows, many programs here are preceded with “RoCo.” We point this out right up front to avoid confusion with the nice lady trainer in London with the similar website rocofit.com. We’re not her, and she’s not us. Probably no confusion by reason of geography, but those are the facts.
RoCo Fit is an unincorporated collection of people dedicated to helping others get fit and become healthier. It is an outgrowth of the Healthy Lifestyles initiative of the Healthy Community Partnership, itself a collection of people and other groups looking for ways to raise health in Rogers County.
RoCo Fit is not organized for profit. There are no dues or fees charged for the service. We have no assets, except those periodically donated by people and groups dedicated to improving health in Rogers County. (That includes this website.)
None of this is to say we don’t have our friends and monetary supporters.
We are deeply indebted to and grateful for the following supporters:
The ROGERS COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT
Rogers County Health Department historically supplied technical shirts for participants who complete 70% of the scheduled training sessions leading up to the goal event or end of session.
As you can imagine, the Health Department and its staff are otherwise occupied during The Pandemic, and its resources are more limited. For now, our main contact method is at this email: getfit@rocofit.org . Since we are all volunteers, please do not expect an immediate response; we will do our best to reply within a day, but sometimes life happens and we cannot guarantee that. Please be patient or write again if you get no response within two days time.
Details on other programs of the Rogers County Health Department can be found at its website: http://www.ok.gov/health/County_Health_Departments/Rogers_County_Health_Department/
CHEROKEE NATION-HEALTHY NATION, WINGS PROGRAM
Everyone living in the Cherokee Nation (which includes all of Rogers County and much of Northeast Oklahoma) is eligible to become a member of WINGS. It is free. More importantly, it sponsors a great number of races in the area, and WINGS members can be in the race for free (subject to signing up before the race).
For details on the WINGS program, check out the HEALTHY NATION/WINGS website: http://healthynation.cherokee.org/Wings.aspx
Healthy Community Partnership https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Healthy-Community-Partnership/143908668977985
And, last but certainly not least, OUR current VOLUNTEER MENTORS (in no particular order):
Being Updated for the next session.
