All are invited to participate in a 9-week community weight loss challenge, Thin It to Win It. The challenge will run from Monday, November 3 until Friday, January 2. Organizers are encouraging people to register as a team of 4, which is why they are giving advance notice of the challenge before registration opens on October 20. Those interested can also register as an individual, duo or trio, and coordinators will do their best to assemble teams.
Registration will run from Monday, October 20 through Friday, October 31. Teams and individuals can register in person at RecPlex, or online at RecPlexOnline.com. The fee per participant is $60 and includes:
- an individual membership at RecPlex during the challenge;
- a weekly group fitness class for challenge participants only (held Sundays at 10:00 a.m. throughout the challenge);
- healthy eating recipes;
- four trainer-led nutrition/fitness roundtables; and
- weekly workout suggestions.
For those who already have a RecPlex membership, the fee is $15. Personal training specials will also be available for participants. Initial weigh-ins will take place on Monday, November 3, while final weigh-ins must take place by January 2, 2015.
“Families, friends, co-workers, anyone who wants a little camaraderie, motivational competition, and a leg up is invited to join us in the pursuit of a healthier lifestyle,” encouraged Aaron Pankau, Fitness Director at RecPlex. “Maybe the challenge helps you meet a wellness goal you’ve been working on, or maybe it gives you the momentum you need to turn your health in a better direction, either way, Thin It to Win It was structured to help you succeed.”
The winner will be determined based on the greatest percentage of weight lost as opposed to a total number of pounds. The overall individual winner will receive a one-year individual membership to RecPlex, three one-hour personal training sessions, and two one-hour massage sessions. The overall group winners will each receive a three-month individual membership to RecPlex, three one-hour small group personal training sessions, and one thirty-minute massage session.
