Fitwel-certified communities are designed to strengthen connection, promote everyday movement, and support long-term well-being—creating places where residents can truly thrive.
Key Messages
Connection Is Health. Prolonged social isolation and loneliness can impact health in ways comparable to smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day. Fitwel-certified communities are intentionally designed to foster connection, belonging, and social engagement.
Movement Built In. Walkability, parks, bike infrastructure, and walking paths make physical activity part of daily life—not an extra effort.
Nature Supports Well-Being. Tree canopy, green space, and outdoor gathering areas promote restoration, stress reduction, and comfort while strengthening community bonds.
Purpose
This one-pager provides a clear, compelling snapshot of how Fitwel-certified communities go beyond traditional development. By embedding evidence-based strategies into neighborhood design—from walkability and parks to shared gathering spaces and tree canopy—Fitwel helps create environments that reduce isolation, support physical and mental health, and enhance everyday quality of life.
