What is Powered by You?

 

Your life is Powered by You!

In 2008, the Seattle Sports Commission launched the Powered by You (PBY) fitness movement as a comprehensive sports marketing program aimed at reducing the incidence of youth obesity in the state of Washington.

By utilizing five key strategies: knowledge, positive peer influence, role models, motivation, and self-confidence; we can empower youth to make long-term healthy lifestyle choices.

PBY was created to reach younger generations by promoting and encouraging good health and physical activity.

 

 
 
   

Through Powered by You and its banner event, the SUBWAY® Washington Games, we  can change the behaviors that cause obesity.  

The SUBWAY® Washington Games are a statewide Olympic-style competition featuring over 25 different sports and recreational events taking place all around the Puget Sound region.  In order for youth to achieve an active lifestyle, they need activities.

Corporate sponsors are also showing their support in alliance with the fight against obesity and the PBY campaign.  

Starting today, your life is Powered by You
