Join Our Wellness Challenge!

ALL IN – Group Exercise Challenge

4 weeks January 13 – February 16, 2025

ALL IN is a 4-week challenge where you can earn points and win prizes for participating in group exercise classes.

Here’s How it Works:

• Pick up an All In Workout Card.
• Whenever you complete a group exercise class, ask the instructor to initial a box on the card. You get one (1) point per workout, and you can earn up to five (5) points for working out each week. Turn in your card each week and pick up another one.
• Every week there is a prize drawing. As long as you have turned in a Workout Card or Referral Card for points that week, your name will be entered in the drawing for a weekly prize. As long as you keep participating, you can win a weekly prize.
• A grand prize raffled to the member with the highest number of total points at the end of the challenge period.
