6th Annual Best Loser Contest

It is time for the 6th annual Best Loser Contest hosted by the Fieldhouse Sports and Wellness Center. In its first year 70 people participated, last year 120 people did and this year they hope for 150 particpants.

Not only is getting in shape an incentive, but the person who wins the title of Southeastern Ohio’s Best Loser will also win a prize worth over $5,000. Contestants can register now through January 31, 2011. After registering the contestant will be weighed and will have 90 days to complete the challenge.

 " A way to lose weight and feel good as a group as a family and since we are a family fitness center this was the best way to get people moving into the new year as their resolutions" said Alainna Amicone-Durfee,  Director of Corporate Wellness and Marketing
for the Fieldhouse.

New to the challenge this year, all contestants will be offered nutrition classes on Thursdays at 9:00am and 5:30pm and a free body mass index test from Physicians Weights Loss Center. Durfee feels working out can change your life.
 

"If you start off early in the morning by doing something that’s going to better yourself, the rest of your day is more productive, your work is more productive and your family life is more productive and that’s what we’re all about" said Durfee.

The individual, couple, or family that loses the highest percentage of body weight will win the title of Southeastern Ohio’s Best Loser. Last year’s winner lost over 75 pounds and 25% of his body weight.
