Mental Fitness Matters

Since 2019, Lids_Live_Well Fitness & Nutrition Center has been operating from the Center of Chicopee. With a Mission to help build others to live well. We believe that through fitness and Nutrition we can improve the quality of life of those we serve.

Lids wants to create this particular platform to showcase all of the ways to live a healthy lifestyle both physically and mentally with a specific focus on the black, indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) communities.

This year’s theme is “Physical & Mental Health with a Holistic approach to living well.”

Amid the pandemic, Lids_Live_Well played a critical role in continuing to provide wellness and nutrition services to our community. The current pandemic has impacted wellness in a big way. Obesity numbers and cases of mental health issues have risen significantly. We want to educate and provide a platform where resources can be shared and we can empower participants to take a significant role in becoming healthier.
