Oil City YMCA Offers Weight Loss Challenge With Cash Prizes

| October 31, 2020


OIL CITY, Pa. – The Oil City YMCA is encouraging the community to eat healthy and exercise to “Slim Down for the Holidays.”  Cash prizes are on the line.

“Slim Down for the Holidays” is the new Y weight loss challenge.  Lose 6% of your body weight in 8 weeks, November 2 to January 6 through diet and healthy exercise.  The Y is encouraging people to get up and go, either at the YMCA or on their own.

Meet your goal of 6% lost and you are guaranteed to win cash.

To participate in the program, weigh in at the Oil City YMCA on November 2, 3, or 4 anytime from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

The cost to participate is $25.00 for members and $35.00 for non-members.  $20.00 for each participant is placed into a winners pot.  Those who lose 6% of their body weight will take home the pot.  Winners in the last challenge took home $100.00 each.

“This is a popular challenge and those who are successful are rewarded,” said Katie Roth, Wellness Director.  Roth has been running the cash for weight loss challenge a few times a year for over two years.

New YMCA members receive a bit of help with meeting their goals through the YMCA Smart Start program.  Anyone who joins will be able to meet with wellness coaches for three free sessions to help them with exercise and diet goals.  Smart Start appointments are available as soon as you become a member of the YMCA.  Appointments are flexible and available day or evening.

If you have questions about the challenge, call the Oil City YMCA at 814-677-3000.
