14 Week Fitness Project

As some of you might know, we decided to run a 14 week fitness project for females. We wanted to give 3 female participants the opportunity to participate in our program, completely free. Velma Garnes, formerly of Studio Temple in Gahanna, is assisting in this project where everything will be documented.

We had about 35 people fill out applications telling us why they think they should be part of this project. We had a lot of great applications and finally narrowed the list down to 8. The week of September 8, we interviewed all 8 participants. We took measurements, videotaped them answering questions, and put them through a light workout.

From there, we picked 5 finalists. Out of these finalists, we would be picking our 3 participants and 2 alternates. We had them go through a boot camp so they could get a taste of what the fitness demands would be like.

After going through this, we decided on the following ladies: Morgan Murphy, Kelly Lee, and Aigner Angel. Each one has a different story and they all have contrasting body types, which should be really beneficial for the project.

Which the goal of this project is to show that when following a proper exercise and nutrition program, females can lose weight safely and get healthier. All the participants have to attend 3 of our boot camps a week, follow our registered dietician recommended nutrition plan, and attend a weekly meeting a week. They are only allowed to miss 2 sessions (a session can be a weekly meeting or workout session).

As the weeks progress, I hope to put up more information about these ladies, how the project is going, and other tidbits that I hope you will find interesting.
