Chicago Companies Take Employee Wellness to the Next Level at the Fit Company Challenge
Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) November 05, 2015 -- On October 17, 2015 hundreds of participants from companies located in the Chicago area took part in the Fit Company Challenge, a corporate fitness event hosted by the Fit Company Institute providing area companies an opportunity to show the importance of living a fit and healthy lifestyle. Participants worked in teams of 3 to 4 towards completing a variety of fitness stations tailored to challenge the team member’s current fitness level and earn points towards their company’s overall score.
With the help of over 30 volunteers assisting the contenders, participants challenged their strength, conditioning, power, agility, and ended with a test of endurance in order to show their companies and colleagues that they practice what they preach. Participants used their involvement to bring out company team members, and family members to cheer them on and even run with them on the endurance course, which was the final course at the challenge.
The challenge was held in North Lincoln Park by Montrose Beach, just a few minutes from downtown Chicago.
