Native Fitness and Nutrition (FAN)

The Native Fitness and Nutrition (FAN) program works to reduce health disparities in the local American Indian community by providing accessible activities and educational opportunities for the community. The Native Elders Support Team, housed within FAN, provides activities, support, and resources to local Elders. A fitness center and gym located in the Minneapolis American Indian Center provide a central place for community exercise and activities. 

FAN programs are currently held at temporary locations while the Minneapolis American Indian Center undergoes renovations. The fitness center is also closed during this time. The upgraded fitness center will reopen, and programs will be held at the center again starting in late spring 2024.
