"Williamson County Named Healthiest County In Texas In Nationwide Study"
Last week the Round Rock Chamber of Commerce posted a press release with details of the results of a nationwide study, revealing Williamson County was named the healthiest county in Texas by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. The nationwide study weighs factors such as access to healthcare, health behaviors, graduation rates, premature death, low birth-weight babies, single-parent households, violent crime rates, air quality, and access to recreation.
Round Rock Chamber of Commerce President Doug Kurkul said, “Public health is a key element in a community’s quality of life, and a critical factor in terms of attracting and retaining good jobs in a community. Williamson County public officials and employers are to be commended for their longstanding commitment to healthy living, which is reflected in today’s announcement.”

Just north of Austin, with about 100,000 residents, Round Rock is one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities, and is home to four hospitals, several higher education institutions, thriving global companies including Dell, entrepreneurial small businesses, safe neighborhoods, quality schools and AAA Pacific Coast League baseball. Purpose, passion and prosperity are the driving principles in Round Rock.

So the question is, what are you doing to get fit, stay fit, and help others around you do the same? Do you think it is a conincidence that Wilco was named the healthiest county in Texas in this recent study, and Round Rock and the Wilco area are known for having beautiful communities where neighbors all know, support, & help each other at the drop of a dime? I think not... What is your contribution & how have you helped your neighbor lately? If by no other means, help your neighbor claim their health & fitness today! Simply go for a walk/jog, bike ride, and chat about what is going on their lives. You never know, you might have just picked up your new training buddy!
If taking an outdoor stroll isn't your thing, feel free to bring them to Fitness Mastermind & tryout a free week of our indoor Elevation Boot Camp or even some group training! Free passes are available for both!
Whatever it is that you do, help a neighbor-help a friend, and as always, keep it fit!
Keep up the great work Wilco & Round Rock!
