Program Information
Welcome to our Early Summer 2015 Biggest Mover Challenge! This letter will
outline the commitment needed to participate in the challenge so you can decide if
the program is right for you. This will be a commitment not only to yourself but to
your teammates as well. We want you to be successful and knowing what to expect
will aid you in your journey.
1. The challenge will officially kick-off Saturday, April 18, 2015. You will meet your
trainer and your teammates as well as other Biggest Mover contestants. At the
end of the kick off your trainer will weigh you in and take your measurements and
these will be your official starting numbers. Come dressed in comfortable workout
gear. You will receive your Biggest Mover Buff at the kickoff. You will also receive
some basic nutrition information from related questions you may have. This
information will help you get started on your journey. Once the program starts,
weekly weigh-ins will take place the second workout of each week; the weigh-in will
always take place before your workout begins. The team bulletin boards will be
updated every Monday. Only percentage lost will be on the board, not individual
weights. That will stay between you and your trainer and it will be up to you if you
want to share with your teammates.
2. The early registration fee (March 16 – March 29) for members is $200 and nonmembers $325 (pay in full ONLY). Regular registration will be from March 30 April 10. The cost is $225 for members and $350 for non-members if you pay
in full. If you choose the payment plan option, the cost is $250 for members,
$375 for non-members with a $100 deposit at the time of registration and the
balance will be paid in two equal installments on May 1, 2015 and June 1, 2015
by the Y automatically. Late registration will be from April 11 – 18, 2015. The
late registration fee for members is $325 and non-members $425, and this can
only be paid in full. Late registrants will not receive a Biggest Mover t-shirt.
3. Cancellations before Friday, April 10th will be assessed a $50 processing fee.
There will be no refunds issued for cancellations after Friday, April 17h.
4. Each team will have a minimum of three participants. The team roster is at the
discretion of the Biggest Mover competition coordinators. We will do our best
to accommodate your requested training session time and day based on our
trainers availability.
5. The person who is crowned the Biggest Mover will receive a prize package at the
end. The winner is determined by largest percentage of weight lost.
6. The team with the overall largest percentage weight lost will also receive a team
prize.
7. Points can also be earned by completing a weekly food journal as well as attending
group exercise classes. Total points will contribute to the individual amount of
1
weight loss. You can earn 1 point each week by completing a food journal on
MyFitnessPal. This will be verified by your trainer. You can earn 1 point each week
by attending three group exercise classes. You will need to have the group
exercise instructor sign off on a card that your trainer will give you showing that
you attended the class, and then you will turn in the card to your trainer.
8. You and your teammates will meet two times per week with your personal trainer.
Team workouts are mandatory. Each participant will be given an “Excuse me from
training” pass that can be used once. After that the only excuse for missing
training is for a medical reason. If you have a vacation scheduled already, please let
your trainer know before the competition starts. Participants will not be able to
continue in the program if they miss workouts for other than the reasons listed
above and no refunds will be issued. You will be expected to schedule all other
activities around your two scheduled trainings per week. Please do not sign up for
the program if you are going to let other “things” get in the way. It really is a
choice. Take charge and do not let yourself or your team down.
9. In addition to your regularly scheduled workouts with your trainer, you will
receive additional weekly assignments to be completed on your own and in your
own free time. (Trainers may give you assigned workouts to do on your own.)
10. Your final training session will end the week of June 22, 2015. There will not
be a Week 10 weigh-in that week. The Biggest Mover finale will be on
Saturday, June 27, 2015 at the Parkway Family YMCA. Final weigh-ins will take
place at the finale and individual and team winners announced.
11. If you are ready to take the challenge, please fill out a health questionnaire and a
Biggest Mover Application, and turn them into the front desk. We will put the
teams together the week of April 13 and your trainer will contact you during that
week.
