It’s about to get real at the Jack Barto Center for Employee Fitness. Our teams are ready to help you achieve your goals, both in fitness and nutrition, and the time is now!
The 21 Day Whole Body Reset kickoff on January 16 and 17 begins a furious couple of weeks of opportunities, where you can find the classes and programs that will help you achieve your goals of health and wellness.
Here’s what’s coming up:
Fitness Opportunities
- 12 to Life: Dozens of NHRMC employees have transformed their lives, and for many of them, their journey began with 12 to Life. It’s a 12-week program that will gently introduce you to the EFC and all that it has to offer. If you’ve never felt comfortable at the gym, but you really want to get healthier, this is the program for you. The kickoff is Saturday, January 19, so sign up today.
- Weight Loss Challenge: If you are looking to lose weight, this is a great opportunity. You’ll have access to our trainers for regular workouts and coaching, plus you’ll have the support of your peers and teammates. Starts Jan. 18.
- FITastic Kids: Start your kids on the path to a healthy life with the help of our energetic trainers. Starts Jan. 19.
- Spartan Warriors Group: If you've ever wondered if you could do an obstacle race (hint: yes, you can!), you can join the Spartan workouts on January 19 (although homework is already being assigned). You’ll find out that no obstacle is insurmountable when you have the support of such an encouraging group. Find them on Yammer or Facebook for more details.
- More Yammer Groups: You can also receive weekly workouts from EFC trainers in the Running Group and Moms & Fitness on Yammer.
- Group Fitness Classes: Check out the schedule for daily group classes, from yoga to zumba to boxing to boot camp. These are offered year-round. Challenge yourself to try something new.
