Shanxi province aims to develop a better public fitness service system this year by upgrading fitness facilities, cultivating branded sporting events, and optimizing fitness guidance so as to make fitness accessible to all and to create a new, healthy lifestyle ecosystem.

The province will allocate public welfare funds from the sports lottery to install new equipment at 80-100 community fitness centers. Additionally, 20 community senior care institutions will be outfitted with elderly-friendly fitness equipment, ensuring that the elderly can exercise safely. The province will also develop hiking and orienteering routes tailored to local conditions to meet the public's outdoor exercise needs.

In preparation for the National Games' mass sporting events, Shanxi aims to establish a new "National Games Ushering + Brand Building + Grassroots Involvement" model for sporting events. The province will enhance cooperation with various departments to organize fitness events that cater to different demographics.

In addition, it will deepen the development of its social sports instructor team, creating a guidance network where everyone can learn and practice through training, incentives, and innovative service formats. The province will also further refine its national fitness monitoring and health assessment system, offering tailored fitness advice for different groups.

Public fitness volunteer services will reach grassroots levels, with "Exercise for Health" activities held during traditional festivals and significant events, bringing scientific fitness guidance to communities, villages, and public squares. Additionally, sports organizations at all levels will collaborate in developing a diverse and inclusive public fitness ecosystem covering rural areas, new communities, and special populations.
