The Challenge-RGV is an opportunity for participants to make sustainable healthy lifestyle changes and lose weight when appropriate. The Challenge-RGV partners with local gyms, fitness experts, nutritionists, and local organizations. Over the course of three months, participants have FREE access to gyms, exercise classes, health screenings, cooking classes, and fun walks/runs.
The event is open to those who registered to participate in January. Individuals who participate in The Challenge-RGV have their baseline weight taken at the kickoff event in January, and then again at a midpoint weigh-in and at the finale in April. Join us in celebrating the health journey of our participants at our Finale event!
