'Tis the Season to Stay Healthy!

6-Week Holiday Challenge

Happy final quarter of 2023!

We are always looking for ways to keep our members inspired. The last 10 weeks of the year can be filled with endless to do lists, extra calories, and lack of routine. Let us help you stay on track and hold you accountable with your self-care and fitness during the 2023 holiday season.

The Challenge + the Reward.

Complete 150 exercise minutes per week at Midwest Health & Fitness (not at home). These minutes may be earned in the gym, class, or a combination of both. Record your workouts in the Holiday Fitness Tracker Binder located at the Fitness Center front desk. Prize drawings from local businesses will be awarded.

$10 Fee to participate; sign up at the Fitness Center Front Desk on or before November 4, 2023.
