Sponsored by Pinnacle Fitness Bootcamp and CertaPro Painters, a portion of the proceeds benefits Decatur Education Foundation. Everyone wins!
For the second year two local Decatur businesses, Pinnacle Fitness Bootcamp and CertaPro Painters, are teaming up to sponsor the Decatur Biggest Loser Weight-loss Challenge, a six-week fitness contest designed to improve awareness of healthy habits and challenge the Decatur community to live a healthier lifestyle. Grand prize winners in the men’s and women’s categories will each win $250 in cash, one month of Pinnacle Fitness Bootcamp sessions and $400 in CertaPro Painters gift certificates for painting services. Prize packages will also be awarded for second and third place men’s and women’s winners.
“We had such an amazing response to our Biggest Loser Challenge last year, we just had to do it again,” says David Nash of Pinnacle Fitness Bootcamp. “Weigh-in day was a lot of fun, with participants all fired up to make a change for themselves and support the DEF. We are so proud of our prize winners, but in the end, everyone who participated came out a winner with better health and fitness habits.”
The contest kicks off with a weigh-in at Leapin’ Lizards, 185 Sams St. in Decatur, on Saturday, Feb. 1,7 am–10:15 am. All body weights are kept private – progress is tracked via percentage. Upon registration, each participant receives a weight-loss packet and water bottle. The final weigh-in event is Saturday, March 22, 7 am–10:15 am. Winners will be announced at 10:30 am, and also notified by email.
Says 2013 Decatur Biggest Loser contest winner Thomas Van Soelen, “The Decatur Biggest Loser Challenge was critical to my health. Thanks to Pinnacle Fitness Bootcamp and CertaPro Painters for offering this opportunity to make a needed change!” (Read more of Thomas’s story here.)
