CRC Launches Biggest Loser Program

From the Campus Recreation Center

Program Overview

The goal of our Biggest Loser Program is not just to help people lose weight, but to encourage participants to start to develop lifelong habits that will lead to healthier and happier lives. We will educate each individual on the importance of good exercise, nutrition and leading a balanced lifestyle.

This 12-week program includes monthly weigh-ins where we record your weight, body fat percentage and also have participants complete muscular and cardiovascular endurance fitness tests.

Participants receive points for improvements in their fitness levels as well as working out at the CRC, attendinggroup fitness or instructional classes, attending wellness workshops on exercise and nutrition topics, playingIntramural Sports, completing a diet record of what they eat, or even attending an Outdoor Adventure trip.

There are three different competitions: student, faculty/staff/CRC member, and a partner competition. Note: This program is not open to the general public!
