The event was hosted by Siddiqu, a fitness expert, and Senior Trustee Jason House, who is running for mayor.

A Community-Based Approach to Fitness

“People of all fitness levels took part in the free event,” said House. “The health journey is a personal one. Sometimes, people need a little help, and that is what this boot camp is about. We are also working on changing the narrative around Dolton, to make sure people know that there are so many things here. We are proud of in this community.”

Breaking the Cycle of Failure

“Everyone sets New Year’s resolutions, but most of us don’t hit them because we try to go it alone,” said Siddiqu. “Today, we are putting together a community team to help us go after those goals.”

In addition to the boot camp, there is a weight loss competition. The man and woman who lose the highest percentage of their total body weight this month will receive $1,000 each.
