Financial Fitness Center

(Open 24/7)

The Financial Fitness Center is the dedicated home base for the Take10™ holistic money wellness experience, blending movement, mindset, and practical tools to help build a stronger financial life in just a few focused minutes at a time.

The Financial Fitness Center is a hub of short, high-impact experiences that treat your money like a muscle you can train: consistently, safely, and at your own pace. Just like a physical gym, you will find classes, “supplements,” how‑to routines, and power moves that help you move from feeling stuck to feeling strong with your finances.

Wellness Wednesdays

Every Wellness Wednesday, join us for 1-hour Financial Fitness training sessions designed to fit into your busy day with no prior knowledge required. These sessions prioritize your immediate needs: only one-third of the hour (10–20 minutes) is dedicated to direct instruction on timely tips or educator power moves, leaving the remaining two-thirds as open space to address your questions and specific needs directly. Whether we are covering debt, budgeting, or paycheck basics in plain language, you’ll walk away with knowledge you can implement today, and you can always dive deeper by exploring our archived resources full of previous power moves and strategies.

In Person

Join us at the Staff Development Center (SDC M9), on the 2nd Wednesday of every month, from 5-6pm.

Virtual

Join us virtually, on the 4th Wednesday of each month, via Google Meet.

1% Better Community Forum

The 1% Better Community Forum is your dedicated space within Take10™’s Financial Fitness Center, where educators connect to celebrate small, consistent wins and track their financial personal records (PRs). It’s built for busy teachers, admins, and school leaders who want to share progress, swap tips, and stay motivated on their journey to financial strength.

"I will be forever grateful for the “old” Administrator who taught me two things in my first semester of teaching: 1) Start contributing to your 403b with at least $100 a month and never stop, and 2) Do not take your annual leave payout at the end of your career, rather make a special one-time contribution to that same 403b plan. While I understood and enacted the former, the latter—-I had no freaking idea what he was talking about. But I do now, and I’m so glad I listened! The former compounded and earned hundreds of thousands of dollars over my career; the latter saved me multiple thousands of dollars in taxes!"

- David Norman, NBCT (retired after 31 years in classroom)
