CLARION, Pa. (EYT) – No Excuses Training & Coaching would like to welcome all of the 2022 GET*FIT Challenge participants and to introduce the teams to the community!
For the eighth year, the No Excuses GET*FIT Challenge presents an opportunity for individuals to work together as teams to focus on making healthy lifestyle changes, with a little added incentive of winning some cash in the process of friendly competition.
TEAMWORK can be a magnificent tool when trying to achieve any health and wellness goals! Working together towards similar goals and creating positive and supportive environments will help individuals who may need it more than you know. Individuals weigh in over an eight-week spread.
Weekly winning teams, and team “top dogs” are announced on the No Excuses Facebook page each week, and after the final weigh-ins, Grand Prize winners will be announced on Facebook and exploreClarion.com.
All calculations are based on percentages. Although the final winners are based on the percentage of weight lost, MANY non-scale “winning” victories are achieved across the board.
The purpose of this challenge is:
-to encourage participants to create healthier lifestyle choices that are realistic and sustainable for the long run;
-to focus on creating healthier and more supportive work and home environments…more support, less pressure; and
-to provide accountability and to stimulate and support motivation.
This year we have the most teams we’ve had, but not the most people (smaller teams). Although there are fewer people than in the last few years, during weigh-ins, there were many serious/heartfelt/solid positive reasons and motivation for why people wanted to make healthier changes, so we are looking forward to seeing a good healthy competition this year.

For all participants, and for those of you working on your health and wellness goals:
As you start into this journey, some of you will notice a burst of ambition, motivation, willingness to change, etc. Although this burst may be beneficial to those that need to pick up momentum in order to maintain a certain speed, it can be a burnout for others. Don’t overwhelm yourselves or your teammates. Focus on controlled steps that will help you learn and grow in wellness, and that will hopefully promote changes that will fit into your life permanently.
Weight Loss Tip: There is a purpose to setting the weigh-ins up for Sunday or Monday. This strategy is to help keep you accountable over the weekends, which is often where we tend to deplete the caloric balance we pushed for through the week.
