Do you know someone who would like to buddy-up for health and fitness?
If so, we would like to hear from you.
The Observer-Reporter is again teaming up with the Wilfred R. Cameron Wellness Center for the Biggest Winner competition, which gets underway Jan. 15 and runs through March 2 at the wellness center in South Strabane Township.
This year’s six-member reader team will include three pairs of workout buddies – friends, spouses or siblings. Participants need not be members of the wellness center to participate. Contest entry and membership fees for the duration of the competition will be picked up by the newspaper.
This year’s program includes seven weeks of expert personal training sessions, weekly health coaching; meetings with dietitians; pre- and post-testing, including blood lipids, and a choice of metabolic testing with a meal plan, 30-minute private mindset session or gear for home workouts.
To be considered for the reader team, candidates:
- Must be available to train four days a week for seven weeks from 6 to 7 a.m. at the wellness center;
- Must sign a medical/legal release form;
- Must consent to the use of their name, photos, video recordings and digital images in the Observer-Reporter;
- Must be willing to disclose age, BMI (body mass index) and percentage of body fat lost.
To be considered, fill out the form below. You will be asked to share why you and a friend or relative should be part of the team. Entrants with the most compelling reasons will be contacted for personal interviews.
Along with improved health, the pair of contestants that achieves the highest percentage of weight loss on the team will win a six-month membership to the wellness center.
Deadline for entries is Nov. 26.
