My Schools Initiative
The Krissy Cela Schools Initiative was founded from the firm belief that every teenage girl has the right to feel strong, confident and lead a healthy, active life.
“This is SUCH a valuable initiative, and it is perfect timing with more and more girls wanting to get involved with fitness but just not sure how to start. The year 10's are loving the fitness option we have added to lessons!”
“The allocation of the Oner Active kit has already impacted some of our more hard-to-reach students. Girls who received the kit have expressed an increased interest in participating simply by having a kit which they feel comfortable in.”
The Mission
To help girls feel confident to move their bodies and empowered to stay active. By delivering dynamic strength training workshops and gifting free sports bras and activewear from Oner, the initiative equips girls with the knowledge and resources to build physical strength and feel confident in their bodies and their abilities.
Through the unique blend of fitness education and motivational support, the initiative is transforming the way young girls perceive physical activity, helping them develop lifelong healthy habits and a positive self-image
The Krissy Cela Schools Initiative reaches teenage girls at a pivotal time in their lives. The women-led, women-only workshops create a safe and supportive environment where young girls can truly thrive.
Led by dedicated Oner Active athletes and qualified trainers, these workshops offer an introduction to the foundations of strength training. It goes beyond just fitness. The sessions include motivational talks and interactive Q&A sessions that cover a wide range of topics, from health and wellness to fitness and careers.
The Schools Initiative believes in the transformative power of consistent exercise. It's not just about physical strength; it's about building skills that help navigate everyday challenges. The athletes share their personal journeys, illustrating how strength training has empowered them with confidence, focus, resilience, and discipline.
Through these workshops, the aim is to instil these same values in the students, helping them understand that the benefits of fitness extend far beyond the PE session or gym.
The Impact So Far...
Working with schools in the UK, the Schools Initiative has reaching thousands of girls. The positive feedback received highlights the increase in participation in physical education and sports, and the newfound confidence girls have while exercising in their Oner Active kit. And this is only the beginning…
The goal is to reach as many girls as possible across the UK and world-wide, addressing the health crisis of declining participation in sports and physical education among teenage girls. The aim is to make strength training a key focus in schools, promoting not just physical health, but also confidence, focus, discipline, and resilience.
