In 1970, the aerobics concept moved from the printed page to bricks and mortar with the opening of Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas. More than 40 years later, Kenneth H. Cooper, MD, MPH, and his son, Tyler Cooper, MD, MPH, have expanded their healthy-living mission to create Cooper Aerobics and its eight health and wellness entities.
Through the array of services Cooper offers, millions have been inspired to make good health a habit and Get Cooperized!™
The Cooper Institute
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated worldwide to health research and education since 1970, The Cooper Institute was the first entity founded by Dr. Cooper. He recognized the need for irrefutable research on fitness and had the foresight to develop a rich repository of health-related data. The Cooper Center Longitudinal Study is one of the most highly referenced databases on physical fitness and health in the world, containing more than 275,000 records from some 105,000 individuals. Armed with this data, The Cooper Institute works to make healthy choices easier through credible research, effective learning programs and an influential network of partners.
