Shaping Her Esteem (SHE) is a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing the health and well-being of young women through three FREE programming streams: StronGirls, a 60 minute fitness class, online NUTRITION tips and easy-to-make recipes, and an online MOTIVATION section where videos and articles that promote physical activity are posted.
With one in three children facing obesity and girls experiencing decreased self-esteem through lack of physical activity, it is crucial for community members to get involved and help address this at the grassroots. This is why we are on a mission to develop strong, confident and healthy young women.
Shaping Her Esteem is led by a group of women who make up the “SHE Network”. They are diverse and experienced professionals who understand the importance of building healthy practices early on in life. A healthy girl is a healthy family, and a healthy family is a healthy community!
StronGirls Fitness Class Overview - a fun and unique physical activity class for girls aged 8 to 16…for FREE!
You can join and drop in anytime throughout the session – our door is open!
Contact SHE to register or if you would like to bring StronGirls to your community. Gather a group of friends and neighbours and let us know where YOU want us to offer StronGirls next.
Classes are 60 minutes long, with 50 minutes dedicated to physical activity and the last 10 minutes focused on open discussion about sport, visualization, and more! The structure of each session allows individuals to push as hard or as light as she likes, all while listening to upbeat music and making new friends.
Whether she is on a National Team or has never played a sport in her life, all girls in this age group are invited to participate and invest in their personal health and well-being.
StronGirls has been shown to increase a girl’s physical and mental health, increase her confidence, expose her to new activities, and encourage the continuation of physical activity outside of the class.
