AOC Training

National research shows the alarming explosion in obesity rates: Among children and adolescents aged 2–19 years, the prevalence of obesity is now 20% — that's one in five of our youngsters; Among adults aged 20 and over, the prevalence of obesity was 42% — nearly half of adults.

The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the United States was nearly $173 billion in 2019 dollars. This means every American man, woman and child pays $525 each year for our lack of activity.

We all know being active is good for our body. Increased activity can also boost our mood, improve sleep, and help us deal with depression, anxiety, stress and more.

People who are regularly active tend to do so because it gives them an enormous sense of well-being. They feel more energetic throughout the day, sleep better at night, have sharper memories, and feel more relaxed and positive about themselves and their lives. Being active is also a powerful medicine for many common mental health challenges.

Due to technological advances, Americans who were historically active people have become a society that sits on the couch and let's their "fingers do the walking." Our physical and mental health have suffered.

We love being challenged in fun ways. AOC training presents participants with a variety of obstacles that teach Life Lessons — opportunties that instill in youngsters and adults transferable skills that they can apply to all aspects of life.
