BSSD Fit Net Challenge (Fall Semester 08) kicked off this past Tuesday. A great addition to their, already fantastic, Corporate Wellness Program.  First, I would like to thank our sponsors; (be sure to log in before following these links) Club 7 Fitness, Balanced Body Personal Training, Kansas Siddhi Yoga, Mr. Goodcents, and the Blue Springs Celsius Tannery. They helped us put together some great prizes for the winners. We are really excited about another Fit Net Challenge and have had great response both from employees and local Providers that want to get involved. The Fit Net Challenge will be running through the entire first semester, ending December 12^th.

The BSSD Fit Net Challenge will pit each school or building versus the others. The school/building total will be based on the average number of steps for their participants, so having more or less walkers will not create an advantage.

The Fit Net Challenge is great because it has the ability to be adapted to any company’s current wellness initiatives. The BSSD employees will receive 15 ‘wellness points’ for their participation in the Fit Net Challenge with additional ‘wellness points’ available for performance and potentially through some fun events based around the Fit Net Challenge. It is great to work with companies that understand the importance of wellness and like to offer additional benefits for their employees. Beyond wellness, Fit Net Challenges are FUN!

Tell us about your wellness program.  Is there a good way to incorporate a walking program with what you currently offer?  Do you think friendly competition is a good thing to increase participation in corporate wellness programs?
