      As summer turns into fall, we start to focus on getting in shape for the holidays. To that end, we have just announced our fall Body Challenge.  As you will recall, the first Body Challenge held this spring was a great success and everyone involved saw positive results.  Our winner, Mrs. Yolonda Washington, lost an impressive 29% of her body weight and 29 inches.  We are ready to see that kind of results (if not better) in the fall challenge.

      This fall challenge will only be able to accommodate 24 people.  We will have four teams of six participants each, and we cannot increase the amount of teams.  For those of you who are not familiar with the challenge, here are the highlights:

  • The challenge is a 12-week program – 9/6 through 11/26.

  • You will be on a team of six people.

  • You will train (as a team) twice a week with a personal trainer.

  • You will be weighed and measured by the trainer at the beginning and end of the challenge.

  • There will be one winner (based on percentage of weight/inches lost), and that winner will receive four months of their individual membership for free.

  • The cost is $100/person/month, payable at the beginning of each month.

      Just like the last challenge, we ask that all entrants commit to the entire 12-week program.  You will find the program both rewarding and very educational.  All of the entrants from the first challenge were most impressed by what they learned from their trainer, as well as what they learned from other members of their team.

      The Body Challenge is just that – challenging.  You will work hard, but you will also make great friends from among your fellow team members, and you will have a great time getting in shape for the holiday season.  When those New Year’s resolutions come around this year, you’ll be able to take “getting in shape” off of your list.  Remember, we only have 24 slots available, so register as soon as possible.  The trainer is ready….are you?
