3 week fitness study at FFC

I just started a FREE fitness study at FFC gym in Lincoln Park.  One of my colleagues mentioned it to me and I was lucky enough to be one of the first 50 participants to sign up and get accepted into the program.  

Basically you get full access to the FFC gym and can take as many classes as you would like from today until September 29th (3 weeks).  

Yesterday we had orientation which consisted of a basic fitness test and tour of the gym.  The trainers divided us into groups and explained the requirements of the study and also recorded our weight, mile time, and # of sit-ups/push-ups during one minute intervals.

At the end of the study, we will go through the same fitness test to determine our progress.  FFC is hoping that the results will be positive and will reinforce the effectiveness of their classes.  It is suggested to participate in 4 classes of our choice each week.

I plan on taking full advantage of this opportunity and will try to attend as many classes as possible.  In addition to the workouts, I plan on eating healthy for the next 3 weeks and cutting out all dessert :(  This is not going to be easy, but luckily I have 4 friends participating in the study and will hopefully lean on them when I need motivation.

I will report back in 3 weeks and let you all know how it turned out...stay tuned!
