Community model of national fitness

The Hongqiao Community was voted as one of the 17 model community/town of national sports and fitness throughout the city.

The only one that received the honor among nine communities and one town of Changning, Hongqiao Community upgraded facilities and venues for fitness in recent years.

It makes public sports facilities a new highlight of local neighborhoods. The community also builds fitness centers for the elderly: combining the sports needs of the elderly and integrating nearly 10 sports and health promotion services such as chronic disease sports intervention, scientific coaching, equipment exercise, health testing, nutritious meals, functional rehabilitation, health lectures, etc.

In combination with the intelligent system, intelligent devices are introduced to the elderly fitness center and the public stadium of the New Hongqiao Central Garden respectively to monitor users’ status when they are exercising, to let wisdom and technology enable sports and fitness.

At present, Hongqiao Community has nearly 50 fitness centers, one public sports ground and four footpaths to meet different requirements of locals.

The national fitness campaign was vigorously carried out in Changning. Around the construction of the “15 minute sports life circle,” the number of sports venues and facilities in Changning continue to increase. 

The comprehensive index of national physique in the district has been steadily improved after Changningers were provided with free physical testing and teaching guidance, while sports courses were held for enterprises, institutions and community.
