How it Works
The SharkFIT Active Program is a complimentary fitness incentive program available to all members of the Fitness and Wellness centers. The training program is designed by fitness coaches and trainers. The program includes pre-assessment, post-assessment, and 8 weeks of exercise prescriptions tailored for weight-loss or muscle-gain performance goals. Individuals that complete the program are recognized during the once-a-year SharkFit Active Awards Ceremony. This cross-training incentive program rewards participants with a number of points after completion of the exercise session. Top winners are announced on a weekly basis and at the conclusion of the competition.
In addition to proper nutrition and effective stress relief, exercise is a major component of a healthy lifestyle. Regular, consistent workouts offer health benefits, including a firmer, trimmer appearance, assistance in weight loss, tension-relief, and increased cardiovascular endurance and stamina.
