Physical inactivity is the fourth leading risk factor for mortality in the world and is linked to obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. 3 WINS Fitness is a free exercise program led by kinesiology students in public parks with the purpose of increasing physical activity in underserved communities. A previous thesis project attempted to expand the 3 WINS Fitness program by creating a manual for other universities to use to help implement but was not successful in program implementation. The purpose of this project is to implement a free exercise program in Sacramento State and California State University, East Bay. The researcher had three visits available to the university to create program infrastructure, train the students, oversee program launch for the community centered program. Creation of the program infrastructure involved meeting with the community parks, university services such as: risk management, student recreation center, and student affairs. Training of the students was held over two days to teach program structure and cover all the exercises in the exercise manual provided in the 3 WINS Fitness manual. The students from each university were in charge of launching a student centered program: an exercise program held on campus focused on recruiting more students to instruct in the park. The final visit oversaw the launch of the community centered program in a community park. Expected outcomes were to have 25 participants in the student-centered program and 10 in the community-centered program after a onemonth post launch evaluation. East Bay had three for both student-centered program and community-centered program. Sacramento started a student-centered program with a launch number of 20 and 30 after one month evaluation. Park relationship was created in Sacramento but program will begin in the fall to offer students internship credit. The researcher implemented a free exercise program in both universities and created a step by step approach on implementation of a community-based program in two different scenarios. Future projects should create a better marketing strategy for program implementation and have follow up with students on why there was drop-off from student instructors.
