Community fitness challenge being held at SLT Recreation Center

Looking for some incentive to start getting more exercise? There is a new challenge program being offered called the Monthly Wellness Challenge where community members will compete for a monthly certificate and gift package.

The month of March is called 'Sweat Sessions' and will track the number of hours particpants spend in the Recreation Center's weight room. After paying the daily use fee, participants will track the amount of time spent in the weight room from March 1 to March 31. Sessions are tracked in 30 minute intervals.

Other months will focus on lap swimming, cardio machines, basketball, ping pong, wall climbing, weight lifting and other activities.

Included each month will be information on general fitness tips to increase product knowledge and safety.

The City of South Lake Tahoe Recreation and Swim Complex located at 1180 Rufus Allen Blvd.

Participants can sign up for the program with front desk personnel at the Recreation Complex at which time they are given a personal Wellness Challenge Tracking Calendar. Staff will post participant’s progress on a display in the weight room to inspire challenge participants. Each time the participant performs the designated activity they log their progress. At the end of the month the person with the most time logged is crowned the winner for that month. For more information call 530-542-6056 ~ Get Fit, Get Well, Be Challenged!
