Biggest Loser 12
information meeting
Aug. 30 at 7:30 p.m.
The Rec will kick off its 12th
session of Biggest Loser with an
information meeting on Tuesday,
August 30 at 7:30 p.m. at the Rec
Center.
The 10-week program will run
from September 11 through November 20. In its brief three-year
history, the Rec’s BL program has
seen over 750 registrants lose just
shy of 15,000 pounds (7½ tons).
The numbers alone could speak
for the success of this program, but
what the numbers don’t tell are
of the personal triumphs, friendships, and life changing moments
that occur during a Biggest Loser
session.
Many of these have been expressed by BL participants themselves in the Biggest Loser Corner
on The Ephrata Review sports
page. And professional staff along
with superior facilities make the
Rec’s Biggest Loser program a cut
above similar programs.
In addition to twice weekly
workouts with their trainers, BL
participants get seve day/week access (over 100 hours) to the Rec’s
42,000 sq. ft. facility that includes
indoor pool, gymnasium, whirlpool, saunas, steam rooms and
state-of-the art Wellness Center.
The Wellness Center features
a cardio studio equipped with
Octane elliptical trainers, Cybex
ARC trainers, treadmills, stationary bikes and Cardiovision entertainment system. Also, a complete
14 machine strength training circuit and free weights, everything
needed for those serious about a
lifestyle makeover.
