Tiger Wellness

Riverside University High School is the first high school in Milwaukee to receive funding to improve the overall health and wellness of our youth, their families and community members in the areas of physical activity and nutrition. We have fitness programs afterschool in swing dance, biking, boot camps, canoeing, cross country ski, power walking, rock climbing, snow shoeing, table tennis, triathlon training, yoga, and zumba and many more exciting activities.

We want to be leaders in assisting members of the Riverside community in their development of healthy lifestyles. Our promise to Riverside teens, their families and the community is to:

  • Increase the variety of physical activities afterschool
  • Increase personal fitness levels
  • Help individuals prevent and reduce obesity and diabetes
  • Provide healthy lifestyles and nutritional support

NOTE: All activities start after school at 3:30 unless otherwise noted. All participants must be CLC registered!
