THIS IS YOUR YEAR!
This is not a resolution. This is not a diet. This is about feeling good. This challenge offers you accountability, a community of like-minded people, access to fitness trainers, structure, fun, and motivation.
Why an 8-week challenge? Well, we say “why not?”. But in all seriousness, doing anything for 60 days creates not only new habits and builds consistency, but it also creates sustainability.

TIEBREAKERS
In the event of a tie between two or more participants in either Percentage of Weight Lost or Total Weight Lost, body fat percentage will be used to break the tie. YMCA staff will determine, in its sole discretion, which participant had greater body fat percentage reduction from initial to final check-in as detailed on the InBody scan.
