2008 Get in Shape Contest

  Home > Programs > Get in Shape Contest  


WE WANT YOU to participate in our 2008 8th Annual Get In Shape contest!

We had a record-breaking year in 2007 with 214 participants and we gave away $8,220 in prize money!

Our goal is to increase our participant numbers to grow the prize pools and continue to encourage and support a healthier, happier you!

The contest is made up of three categories:

1 Age Group - 18-34 and 35 up, Men and Women

2 Fit/Winner/Employee:

- Fit - Participants who do not need to lose much weight or want to gain muscle

- Winner - Past 1st place winners who want to participate again

- Employee - YAC and YAC Fitness employees and spouses

3 Team - 4 participants who come out with the largest % of weight loss

Contestants have 12 weeks to create the biggest body transformation. The winners are not necessarily the people who look the most fit or look like they lost the most weight, but who have created significant change in
their body. We will educate and encourage a healthy change, by “healthy change” we mean combining the 5 components of fitness; cardio, strength training, proper food intake, supplementation and professional assistance.
Through the contest our Fitness Professionals give free seminars on proper cardio and strength training as well as food intake and supplements.

Sign ups begin in December at both YAC and YAC Fitness. We have 2 flights in the contest, January 11th and January 18th. Challenge yourself in the individual category or put together a team of friends, family or co- workers! Make a difference in yourself, who say’s YOU can’t look great in 2008?

Applications available at the front desk - contest starts in January 2008 !

Get in Shape News - 275 will look GREAT in 2008!

You guessed it -- we have 275 participants in this year’s 8th annual Get in Shape Contest! WOW! This is such a motivating time of the year for me. I love to see the new faces, the amazing transformations and the impact that our fitness professional’s have on each and

every one of you. Our Group Fitness classes are full, our Personal Trainers are busy and nearly 300 individuals are aiming to reach their goal of moving more, eating smart and feeling better!

Thank you to Kay Carbery and Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital. This year the Get In Shape contest teamed up with Y.V.M.H to encourage their employees to participate in our Team Category. We discounted our 3 month membership to Y.V.M.H’s employees, providing they joined the contest with 3 other employees to make a Team. Each Team from Memorial that finishes the contest will get their contest joining fee reimbursed by Y.V.M.H! What an outstanding way to motivate your staff and to show that you care about their health and fitness.

Keep your eye on your mailbox, your next issue of “Get In Shape News” is on it’s way!
