Sandy City wants to help Canyons District employees to shed any holiday weight gain.
 
All Canyons employees are invited to join residents in Healthy Sandy’s Summit Fitness Challenge. The aim of the initiative is to elevate the overall health and wellness and of the people who live and work in Sandy.
 
In-person registration begins Friday, Jan. 3, 2014 from 5-8 p.m. at the Lone Peak Pavilion, 10140 S. 700 East.  Residents and employees also can use the city’s easy-to-use online registration.
 
Cost is $10 per person or $20 per family.
 
The program features three eight-week challenge sessions. The first challenge session – called Base Camp – runs from January to February. The second is from March to April, and the third is from May to June.
 
Participants, who also are encouraged to focus on nutrition, relationships, emergency preparedness and community service, can get a walking stick and medallions for each session completed.
