Hawaii Community Federal Credit Union completes the first Walking Moais in West Hawaii

Hawaii Community Federal Credit Union has completed the first Walking Moai^® in West Hawaii! Walking Moai groups are formed through Blue Zones Project^® as a way for individuals to not only do something active, but for them to gather socially as well. HCFCU’s Kaloko Branch became a Blue Zones Project Approved^™ worksite in November 2017. Since then, thirteen ladies walked weekly in two teams, with a 48% and 66% participation throughout the 10-week walking moai program. Although the official walking period has ended for the HCFCU – Kaloko Branch, they still continue to walk regularly. After regular comments from moai members about their clothes fitting better each week, everyone has been motivated to continue the fun group. Additionally, everyone in the group agrees that it has been a great way to connect with co-workers that they otherwise do not spend much time with.

This first walking moai group at HCFCU has encouraged the launch of moais at several of their other branches, including Kealakekua, Kailua-Kona and Kohala. This brings Hawaii Community Federal Credit Union’s total Walking Moai participation across their branches to over 40 people.
