SMM has completed its annual Corporate Fit Challenge. The challenge was a team based fitness challenge where randomly partnered teams from across the organization are paired up and compete in a 12 week fitness challenge. Each team utilized the Daily Endorphin website and mobile app to log their fitness activity. Each member of the team that logged the most fitness activity at the end of the 12 weeks was the winner of a $100 cash prize!
We had a total of 162,082 minutes of fitness activity logged by 46 participants over the 12 weeks. That equates to 112 days of continuous activity, INCREDIBLE!!!
Congratulations to all of our participants who stepped up to the challenge. Hopefully the results have paid off!!

Some comments from our winners about our Corporate Fit Challenge:
Kandy: It was amazing to be part of a program that encourages people to exercise and lets you keep track of your progress in such detail. For those of us that are very competitive this was a great way to prove to ourselves that we can always do better than yesterday!
Courteney: This was a great program because it not only motivates you to work out but it also holds you accountable by being able to see your progress and where you can pick it up. The healthy competition, no pun intended, is a great way to get everyone moving more than they usually do!
Jessica: The challenge had a way of making you feel accountable to work out more and live a healthier lifestyle. You were able to log your work and even track your progress, great program!
Terry: The Corporate Fitness Challenge was Fantastic! It brought a whole new light to working out, keeping it fun and interesting. For me this was HUGE as I would always retire from working out before seeing any results. The Challenge kept me logging in my success every morning and helping to rid of some really bad habits. It was a true wake up call, and FUN!
Melissa: The 2015 SMM Corporate Fitness Challenge could not have come at a better time. Just a few weeks prior, I had asked the doctor for 3 months to get my blood panel numbers in line, or face going on meds. In addition to a new Weight Watchers App, and my Fitbit Family, the Challenge was what I needed to push myself to new extremes. Huge shout out to Kara and Courtney, and the other top 10 finishers! Every time any of you got close, or passed me up, it woke up my competitive side and I shifted into OVERDRIVE! I would like to give kudos to Kevin and Joe for giving Brett the green light on programs such as The Corporate Fit Challenge! SMM provides such an awesome work environment, and it’s a great feeling to know that Leadership cares so much about the members of its team!! Over the past 4 months, I have lost 15% of my body weight, and I am looking forward to getting the results of my new blood tests later this week. The weight loss is great, but it’s the Lifestyle Changes that I am most grateful for, and I look forward to trimming off another 15% by years’ end! One final shout out to Tim, Meg, and Kris for providing support and motivation enabling me to become the 2015 Top Endorpher and getting us all ON THE MOVE!!
