Get Fit for 2013

It's that time of year again for another Get Fit Challenge! The following are the details about Get Fit for 2013.

Get Fit For 2013 is a 10 week program that will start January 14th and it will end on March 25th for  SSM Columbus. The Savannah start has been changed to January 16th. 

It will include both a fitness assessment (during class time) and body composition assessment (by appointment in the first and last week of the challenge) at the start and end of the program. The fitness assessment will include:

-Shuttle run for time
-Step ups, count steps
-1/2 mile run, for time
-Push ups, count reps
-Plank hold, for time

The body composition assessment will be calculated using a bio-impedence scale which gives a readout of the following:
weight
bmi
fat free mass
body fat
hydration %

You will receive points in five ways:
-Class attendance
-Improvement in fitness assessment
-Improvement in body composition assessment
-MVP of the week (a hard working mom will be chosen every week as the MVP)
-Whether you reached the fitness goal you set for yourself on January 14th

Points will be tallied throughout the program and participants with the most points at the end of the 10 weeks will receive gift card prizes.

You will take a before/after picture at class at the start and end of the program so you can see how much the hard work payed off!

There is a $15 registration fee. Payment can be made on the prices page of SSM website or at class. You have to be a member of SSM in order to participate in the GFF2013. To be a member of SSM, you must purchase a 1 month unlimited membership, 10 class pass, or 5 class pass. 

'Get Fit for 2013' will happen during regular class days and times. The fitness testing will take place on January 14th (16th for Savannah) and March 25th during class time. The body composition testing will occur by appointment during the first and last week of the challenge. More detailed info on the body composition testing is to follow.

Moms will also have the option to pair the Get Fit for 2013 Challenge with a weight loss program that will be put on by the weight loss center where the initial weigh-ins occur. The weight loss programs are an extra cost, but discounted for SSMs. The Columbus weight loss program is called bLean and is a 6 week program for $99.

Last year's Get Fit Challenge was a GREAT success. Moms lost noticeable amounts of body fat and improved tremendously in their fitness assessments. The results were extremely impressive!! The above photo shows last year's top finishers. Moms lost as much as 15 pounds over the 10 weeks and many dropped body fat percentages by over 5% (which is SUPER impressive). 


Looking forward to this GFF2013!!!
