Reach the Peak Challenge

September 2 – 30

Begin your journey to conquer Mount Denali, ascending its 20,000-foot peak by accumulating 150 minutes of exercise each week. For every 150 minutes completed, you gain an elevation of 5,000 feet. Remember to track your exercise minutes at the Fitness Desk, and as you reach each 5,000-foot milestone, you will ascend to a new camp on the mountain.

Activities to reach 150 minutes each week:

• On-site Fitness Activities: Check in at the Fitness Center and enjoy group fitness classes, walking our indoor track, working out on the fitness floor, swimming laps in the pool, and more.
• Live Virtual Classes: Can’t make it to a group exercise class at the center? Check out our “Studio and Virtual” offerings on our schedule for a class you can take wherever you are.

Remember, every minute matters in achieving your 150-minute weekly goal!
