Fall Transformation Challenge 🥧🏋️

This 8-week challenge starts TOMORROW. (Oct 1st to Nov 26th.) And you don’t have to be a rec center member! The cost is $30 for members, and $40 for non-members.

The competition is to see who can burn off the most body fat % during the 8 week competition. You'll get scanned for your body fat % at the beginning at the end to see how you did. (These are Styku 3D body scans, and the costs for the 2 scans are included in the entry price.)

Also included: access to a private FB group led by top-notch trainers, weekly health workshops, and plus the rec center will regularly give you tips to keep you on track.

There are prizes for the winners, including cash prices! And even if you don’t win one of the overall prizes, if you did your best and burned off some fall fluff, you’re a winner in our books. 🍂🔥

🏀🤪 Marriott Madness
This year it’s open to the public, it’s free, and it won’t be super late like before (probably why it is no longer called Midnight Marriott Madness). And on top of all that, the amount of hype surrounding the BYU basketball team is astronomical this year. It’s bound to be crazy fun—hopefully the lines to get in aren’t crazy long…
