Osceola, Arkansas — An exciting, national wellness initiative
is launching across the country in February and our communities are invited to
join the MOVEment! NBC and The Biggest Loser are launching The Biggest Loser
Community Challenge in February, and the Osceola/South Mississippi County
Chamber of Commerce is on board as a local Wellness Leader. This Company vs Company competition invites
teams of four to join an eight-week, online health & wellness community
challenge. The challenge is for companies of all sizes (no limit to the amount
of teams you can sign up!) and people of all fitness levels. It is designed to get our community moving,
eating better and having fun!
Businesses are encouraged to register teams of employees to
represent their company in the challenge. For only $100 for a team of four,
this exciting wellness offering is an affordable and fun way to kick start the
new year for employees. Chamber Executive Director Ammi Tucker stated, “this is
a great opportunity to encourage wellness within your business, industry, or
group of friends, as well as get in on the Southern tradition of friendly
competition.” Registration is open now, and competition begins
February 29 and runs through April 25, 2016.
As an added local incentive, local fitness facilities are discounting their memberships during the program period. Osceola Parks & Recreation
and Osceola Fitness are partnering with this Chamber initiative to offer BLCC participating individuals
a discounted membership rate during the program, which runs until April 25. With the one-time purchase
of a membership card, participating team members would get their individual membership
to the OPAR community center for $10 per month, and it could roll over to normal
rates after the promotional period. Osceola Fitness is also discounting their memberships by 20% for BLCC participants during the competition.
“This challenge is for everyone. No matter what your goals
are you’ll find something in it to help you achieve your next level of
fitness,” says Dolvett Quince, Biggest Loser and Community Challenge Trainer.
Past contestants of The Biggest Loser will guide teams
through eight weekly challenges. Challengers will also receive weekly
motivation and nutrition tips from trainer, Dolvett Quince. Participants will
earn points for each minute of activity they engage in, as well as additional
points for completing weekly tasks and logging additional challenge activities
designed to improve nutrition and overall wellness. Each participant will have
access to their own private wellness account and mobile app, where they will
journal challenge activities, access weekly health guidance and keep their eye
on friends and competitors on live leaderboards. The focus of the challenge is
not on weight loss and all personal information, including weight, is
completely private. WARNING: Side effects may include weight loss!
Prize draws will be made each week, with over 10,000 prizes
to be won across the country, including trips to LA to see the Finale
live! More information, registration and
key dates can be found online at: www.biggestlosercommunity.com.
When registering your team, please be sure to mark WMC-TV 5 as the NBC
affiliate and select “Osceola-South Mississippi County C/C – Osceola, Arkansas”
as your Chamber. Full details available at www.OsceolaSMCChamber.com
