Press Kits
Sit and Be Fit is an award winning non-profit committed to healthy aging.
The Sit and Be Fit TV show with Mary Ann Wilson, RN has been broadcast on PBS since 1987 and is a media success story. The medically based exercise series was originally designed for seniors and anyone needing slow gentle movement, but has proven effective for anyone.
The program is popular because it makes people feel and function better, and because of the uniquely likable program host, Mary Ann Wilson, along with her daughter, Gretchen.
“A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF QUALITY TELEVISION WITH A DIFFERENT VOICE.”
Ron Santora
Vice President/Station Manager
WNED, Buffalo/Toronto
Sit and Be Fit has the unique advantage of reaching a variety of demographics.
Seniors are the natural target audience and provide a strong following of the show. In addition, children of seniors continue to play an ever-growing active role in the healthcare decisions of their parents, and awareness among this demographic continues to thrive.
Thirdly, an unlikely fan base of younger adults shares awareness of the program after growing up watching Mary Ann on PBS.
