Weight Loss Challenge Ends Session 3

Looking for personal training? Need help with your new years resolutions? There is still time to meet your health and fitness goals. Sign up for the Oswego Family YMCA's Weight Loss Challenge today!

Saturday, March 3rd wrapped up the 3rd session of the Oswego Family YMCA's Weight Loss challenge. Trainers and participants were nervous on this very important day. Trainers thinking "Did I push them enough?" Participants thinking "Did I do all I could have done?" 8 weeks of training and preparing for 3 seconds of results on the scale...

8 weeks ago 34 participants showed up with anticipation for the upcoming challenge. Six teams were formed. Everyone got weighed in, a photo was taken, measurements were taken, and fitness assessments were performed.

Participants worked out with their trainer and team for 14 one-hour sessions. They each had "homework" and "challenges" assigned by their specific trainer.
