It’s that time of year again for another Get Fit Challenge! Columbus, Savannah and Lexington will be participating in the Get Fit Challenge starting the week of January 19th. The following are the details!!!
The Get Fit Challenge is a 10 week program. It will start the week of January 19th and end the week of March 30th.
It will include both a fitness assessment (during class time) and body composition assessment (before or after class) at the start and end of the program. The fitness assessment will include five different exercises that will be counted/timed. The body composition assessment will use a handheld bodyfat monitor.
You will receive points in the following ways:
-Class attendance
-Improvement in fitness assessment
-Improvement in body composition assessment
-How well you follow your nutrition goal
The Get Fit Challenge will happen during regular class days and times. The body composition testing will occur before or after class on those days.
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!! For Savannah and Columbus, we will break up participants into two groups based on the initial assessment results. This will make it fair across the board and encourage everyone to compete against others who are at their same fitness level.
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!
We have added a large nutrition component to this year’s Get Fit Challenge. Leslie Ann Berg MSPH, one of our SSM DC instructors, is a nutritionist with extensive experience in guiding people on what to eat and helping them reach their health related goals. She will be providing the following:
You will receive a grocery lists and/or meal plans (including 2 breakfasts, 3 lunches, and 4 dinners) for vegan, paleo, vegetarian, and whole food diets.
You will be given a list of 10 nutrition goals on the get fit challenge sheet to help guide you. You will also have the option of coming up with your own. You will write down one nutrition goal that you will work to follow over the 10 weeks. You will download a special app that will document how many days within the challenge you follow your goal. The app also gives daily reminders to follow the good habit you’ve chosen.
Leslie Ann will take questions via a Facebook group in a live chat five times over the 10 weeks for 1 hour. At that time Leslie Ann will be available to answer questions you post on the group page. She will also answer a few questions per week throughout the challenge from nutrition topics that interest moms the most.

The past three years of the Get Fit Challenge have been a GREAT success!! Moms lost noticeable amounts of body fat and improved tremendously in their fitness assessments. The results were extremely impressive!! Moms lost as much as 15 pounds over the 10 weeks and many dropped body fat percentages by over 5% (which is SUPER impressive).
We hope you join us for this years Get Fit Challenge!!!
