2024 Fitness Challenge

 

This is a 12-week challenge that you do on your own. Everyone who joins will be invited to a special Facebook page where we will share tips, exercise videos, and healthy recipes.  Those participating will come in every couple of weeks to weigh in and track progress. The person who loses the most weight will receive a cash prize. The amount won will depend on how people sign up.
 
 
Weigh-ins must be done in person. Those participating are encouraged to attend Arc Dance Party dates for exercise and movement. Planet Fitness offers a $ 10.00-a-month membership for those wishing to work out. If you are interested or need a workout buddy, I would happily set that up with you! Working out in groups can sometimes be more fun! I am also looking into using an app where we can compete with each other for an added fun challenge!
 
Support staff and caregivers are also welcome to participate. We will make a second prize pool if enough caretakers and support staff are signed up.

 Arc Bowling was designed to teach bowling skills to help with inclusivity in other bowling leagues in the community. We want to keep that tradition as much as possible, allowing everyone to experience league bowling. 

The cost will be $8.00 for members and $10.00 for non-members. You must have a current membership to receive the member rate.  We will be able to take cards this year. However, a $0.50 processing fee per bowler will be attached when using a card. This fee does not go to us but is necessary for card payments. 

Arc Bowling is a fun event for all, and we will not tolerate bullying of staff or members of any kind.
