OIL CITY, Pa. – Could you use a little extra motivation to reach your weight loss goals?  The YMCA will give you a good reason to get that motivation for the holidays:  CASH!

(Pictured is Ryan May, an Oil City YMCA Member who lost over 24 pounds in a previous YMCA Slim Down challenge.)

An exciting workout and weight loss challenge is available at the Oil City YMCA. Members and Non-members can take the challenge and slim down, with a payout for those that lose the specified amount of weight.  Registration is ongoing through Saturday, October 5 at 12:00 p.m.

This fun challenge was developed by Katie Port, Oil City YMCA Wellness Director, to add fun, excitement and goal setting to member workouts.  You don’t need to be a YMCA Member to participate. Non-members are welcome to join the fun.

How Does the Challenge Work?

– The challenge is to lose 5% of your body weight in 8 weeks. October through December 3.

– Weigh-in at the YMCA through October 5 at 12:00 p.m. and get started on meeting your goal.

– Members pay $25.00; Non-members pay $35.00 for the challenge.

– A $20.00 challenge fee goes in to a winners’ pot to be split by all the winners.

– Self-check your weight, or weigh-in at the Y weekly, this is up to you.

– Complete your final weigh-in by December 3 at 6:00 p.m. at the YMCA.

– The more participants, the greater the possibility to take home more cash!

Registration is going on now at the Oil City YMCA.  Just stop by to sign up.

Final weigh-in must be completed by 6:00 pm on December 3 to be considered a winner.

Non-members who decide to join the YMCA for the challenge can take advantage of the facility to help with the weight loss by becoming a member.  The YMCA is also offering new members their free Smart Start program, which includes 2-3 free meetings with a wellness coach to get some help to meet those goals.
