Railyard Depot

I would like to congratulate Jody Ebstein, P.E Teacher, and Audubon Elementary School in Chicago, the grand prize winner of a Railyard Obstacle Course. Next month we will have more information on Jody and how she plans to use the Railyard in her classes next month.


Our hope is the Railyard Depot becomes a valuable forum where physical educators and fitness professionals will share information on their successes and trials in providing exercise for our nations children. Please write your thoughts down and we will include them in the next month’s issue.

The fitness equipment manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, are forming a trade association (Afirm) to promote fitness and exercise. The Association will be a part of the SGMA, one of the leading proponents of the PEP Grant and the PHIT bill. As a founding member, I intend to encourage the industry to take a larger role in supporting Physical Education and fitness for children. What can the fitness industry do to help you provide exercise and fitness to your students and clients? Please post your suggestions on the Railyard Depot Blog and I’ll present them to the Association.

We are proud to announce the National Head Start/Body Start Program has selected our preschool exercise program and product, the Playtangle Jr. to be included in the 2010 Resource guide. The Playtangle is manufacture and distributed by our parent Company, TherapyZone.com.  More information on Railyard Obstacle Course in Schools, click here.
