This year’s 2010 Annual Get In Shape Contest was a HUGE success! We had 60% of our participants finish the contest and as a whole lost a total of 2,240 pounds! That is equal to 1 car or 5 Harleys; you would have to eat 7.8 Million calories to maintain that weight! 7.8 Million calories is equivalent to 16,100 Big Macs or 220 plates of Fettuccini Alfredo, wow! The Individual Categories lost a combined total of 556% Body Fat, what a fantastic achievement! We gave away a total of $17,000 in cash and donated prizes thanks to our sponsors. Thank you for making 2010 a memorable year, here’s to making 2011 even better!
Since the Get In Shape Contest Debbie has continued her success, she works with a Personal Trainer every week, Tanner Dean, participates in Group Fitness and utilizes Kids Club. Here is a brief look into what Debbie has been up to: I am very excited to have won 1st place in the Women’s Open category this year. I had my first baby last summer and 6 months later I hadn’t lost any of my baby weight. I actually gained 5 lbs in that 6 months and knew I needed to do something about it. I heard about the contest and thought this would be a great way to try and lose some of the weight. I entered the contest, purchased some Personal Training sessions with Tanner Dean and bought the Exerspy to keep count of my calories being burned. I was very motivated for the 12 weeks. The classes are a lot of fun and the staff is very encouraging! The weight began to come off and my body fat went from the “Very Poor category” to the “Good category”. Since the end of the contest I have lost another 8 lbs and am now in the “Excellent category” for my body fat! I am still working out with Tanner and am very excited about my lifestyle change I have made for myself.
Also, a big “Thank You” to the ladies in the Kids Club!
