Health & Fitness Challenge kicks off in January

SIMI VALLEY — Cardio Barre and World of Wellness, Inc. have announced the 2nd annual Simi Valley Health & Fitness Challenge.

The event, which helped 150 people lose over 2,300 pounds in its inaugural year, is a 13-week team challenge designed to inspire weight loss through a healthy diet and exercise.

Kicking off Jan. 10, teams will begin the challenge by participating in a weigh-in at Cardio Barre Simi Valley. In addition to the required bi-weekly weigh-ins throughout the competition, competitors are encouraged to participate in the challenge’s organized walks, health and wellness seminars and discounted Cardio Barre classes.

At the end of the 13 weeks, the top two teams with the highest weight loss percentage (as well as the biggest loser) determined by final weigh-in on April 8, will be named the winners and awarded cash prizes.

Last year, more than $9,000 in prize money was awarded. Also, more than $1,000 was donated to The Boys and Girls Club of Simi Valley.

Starting Nov. 1 teams of four can enter at http://www.svslimdown.com or by visiting Cardio Barre Simi Valley, 2975-B Cochran St., or World of Wellness, Inc., 295-B1 Cochran St.
