The Commit to Fit Challenge finished January 31, and Badlands Community Facility (BCF) Coordinator of Recreation Programs Jacy Calon said, “Over 100 participants entered the challenge and 70% completed their goals."
In the January 20 edition of The Drumheller Mail reported Valri Bickerton and her fiancé Jon Foran were competing in the challenge. On February 2, Bickerton spoke to the Mail, “I met my goal and lost eight pounds and her fiancé Jon Foran also met his goal, running 8 kms.”
On Monday, February 1, Calon drew a name from the challengers who reached their goals and Lori Hartman won the three month multi-facility membership. Hartman’s goals were to attend the BCF three times weekly and increase her cardio and strength. Hartman said, “I started doing only five laps and exceeded my goal to 15 laps.” Using the stack machines, Hartman also increased the weight and repetitions. Hartman also said, “I hope to keep on attending the BCF.”
Drumheller Mail Editor Ossie Sheddy shared his thoughts, “The Staff at The Drumheller Mail thought it would be a great idea to start off the new year with a fitness challenge, partnering up with the Badlands Community Facility. We will be back next year, bigger and better. We hope the people enjoyed the challenge of reaching their personal benchmark for fitness.”
