Welcome to Activate Berkeley
Welcome to the official Activate Berkeley website.
Activate Berkeley is a FREE year-round healthy living awareness program that targets youth and adult obesity and related diseases. The program encourages participants to accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity five days per week by completing their daily activity log online. Participants will receive Healthy Living information about nutrition, exercise and health education weekly on the website. Participants also take part in weekly and monthly weigh-ins and counseling, as well as attend, “Health Talks,” a series of lectures by wellness and medical experts that focus on topics related to health and wellness.
Track your progress and that of Berkeley County right here! This website will provide every participant with a confidential login so that they can privately monitor their weight lost and physical activity during the program. Visit this website often for the latest stats on Berkeley County's progress to lose weight and get physically active. If you registered for Activate Berkeley last year and have remained active since October of 2008, you need not re-register. Anyone not participating since October 2008 will need to re-register.
