Different versions of Fitnessgram software

Fitnessgram 9

Fitnessgram 9 is web-based software, offering a significant advantage for tech administrators over Fitnessgram 8, which is a client-installed software program. With Fitnessgram 9.0, the program must be installed on a web server owned (hosted) by a district, state, or regional office, or a third party hosting vendor. If your school or district is unable to host the web server, information about third party hosting and associated costs is available through The Cooper Institute (800-635-7050).

Web-based software means teachers and students can access the program from anywhere they have an internet connection (if the district has set permissions allowing this), as shown below:
