WHAT is the Slim Down?

The Staten Island slim down is an annual health, wellness and weight loss initiative, founded by fitness professional, Tony Books Avilez. During the slim down we encourage fellow Staten Island residents to embrace healthy lifestyle practices such as exercise and healthy eating.

This process is facilitated by weekly fitness Surprises held at various locations throughout the borough as well as the online program and library hosted atStatenIslandSlimDown.com.

Over the years, the program has evolved into a supportive family where people of all levels of fitness and health join in the mission of making Staten Island a healthier and happier place to live.

Participation is free and all you have to do is register at StatenIslandSlimDown.com. Fill out and sign the waiver forms then join us at any or all of the multiple fitness and exercise events. But most of all, have a fun and great time as you get healthier.

Bring a friend or two and see what all the fun is about!
