Philadelphia Companies Conquer the Fit Company Challenge and Promote Employee Wellness
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) October 21, 2016 -- On October 8, 2016 participants from companies located in the Philadelphia area took part in the Fit Company Challenge, a corporate wellness 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.
In the inaugural Philadelphia Challenge, Success Rehabilitation took the top overall spot in the Large Team division. “The Fit Company Challenge was such a positive experience for our team and the team building that took place was extremely special,” said team captain Thomas McCurnin. “Every day at Success Rehabilitation we watch individuals with traumatic brain injuries push their physical and cognitive capabilities to the max, with the goal of getting better every day. It was so impressive to watch our entire team push our physical capabilities for one day, for one common goal. We truly rallied together and supported one another, thank you Fit Company for giving us the opportunity to come together as a cohesive unit for fitness and fun.”
Safeway Group LLC took the 2nd overall spot in the Large Team Division and their team captain Diego Villaruel is already looking forward to the next Philadelphia Challenge. “The Fit Company Challenge helped my team gain a perspective on their fitness goals,” said Diego Villaruel. “It allowed the team to say “hey I want to be able to complete this course better next year”. The challenge helped raise an immense amount of awareness as to where we want to be fit and health-wise in the future. Thank You Fit Company.”
On event date, with the help of over 20 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 promote the importance of having fun and effective corporate wellness programs at their companies.
The challenge was held at Penn Park, located in downtown Philadelphia on the University of Pennsylvania’s campus.
