TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - A big face in fitness helped a local school open its new fitness center Tuesday.
Jake Steinfeld with the Governor's Fitness Council cut the ribbon for Glendale-Feilbach Elementary School's new "Don't Quit" Fitness Center.
The school was chosen, along with two others in Ohio as a National Fitness Champion for finding innovative ways to promote physical activity.

"We just want students to get the most opportunity they can to be active, to be healthy," said Principal Andrew Duncam. "Childhood obesity is a big issue across the country right now and we want to make sure we model to students the importance of healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle."
Ohio Governor John Kasich also declared October "Don't Quit Fitness Month," encouraging students to get up and move.
