Fitness Club Gears Up For Challenge

The Westboro Tennis and Swim Club's 2013 Group Weight Loss Challenge begins next week.

One might call a game that starts next week at the Westboro Tennis and Swim Club “The No-Sweets 16.”

The club’s 2013 Group Weight Loss Challenge features 16 group workouts, and three 30-minute training sessions, in a “The Biggest Loser”- style contest.

Teams of up to 10 people will compete. Each member of the winning team gets a $50 club gift card, and the individual winner on that team gets a $100 club gift card.

The program runs from Monday, Jan. 7 to Friday, March 8. Admission is $199 for fitness members, and $299 for all others.

“Most people will actually pick their group as to what time they want to work out,” club General Manager/Owner Justin Lundberg said Wednesday.

The contest is “one of our most popular programs,” Membership Director Jessica Thomas said.

“It’s a group, so it’s social. You have accountability too, because you have a trainer and your other workout buddies are there looking out for you,” she said.

“And it’s affordable. And you get to learn a lot of new exercises and routines to use out in the gym.”
