A Time To Shine
Everyone joins the Spring Fitness Challenge for different reasons. Some people hope to lose weight while others are trying to bulk up. Still others participate because they got a "wake up call" from a doctor. Even athletes participate, trying to push themselves just that little bit harder. Regardless of your reason for participating, we try to make the Spring Fitness Challenge a fun, motivating tool to help you become more active than you ever thought possible.
In 2008, the average participant recorded over 34 hours and 44 minutes of activity; that's the equivalent of a half-hour of exercise every day - the amount recommended for every adult. Every registered participant gets a motivational shirt and is also eligible for weekly raffle prizes. Every time you record an activity, you get an additional chance to win. Additional prizes will be awarded at the end to recognize outstanding achievement during the Challenge. Past participants have also informed us that they stayed motivated after the end of the Challenge; it's a great way to get into the habit of exercising and sticking to it!
Registered Participants
You may record your activity at the Spring Fitness Challenge website.
Points are earned both for exercise and for weight loss, so whatever your goals, we'll provide that extra push you need. Plus, every time you record exercise, you're automatically entered into a weekly drawing for fantastic prizes.
As an added bonus, non-members may use the Fitness & Wellness Center during the Spring Fitness Challenge at no additional cost.
A Team Effort
All participants must register on teams of 5 to 20 people. University staff, students, alumni and retirees are encouraged to participate. By competing with and against your peers, you'll have the extra motivation you need to keep those New Years Resolutions!
Entire teams win as well, so keep your teammates motivated. Your combined effort could quickly push your team to the top. To keep bigger teams from having an advantage, we compare the average score of each team to determine the winner.

Registration open in January 2010.
The Catch
Non-members must also complete a New Member Orientation before they can record their progress, but they will be allowed to use the Fitness & Wellness Center during the course of the Challenge. Each team must have no less than 2 non-members.
