How to Qualify

If at least 4 of your team members meet the 2-hour per week requirement and logs are submitted on time, your team will qualify for a chance to win the weekly TEAM prize!
Each week, a winning TEAM will be selected based on a rotating set of criteria. As listed below, one week may give a prize to the team with the best name. Another week, a prize may be given to the team with the most hours exercised.
The important thing to remember is that to qualify for the weekly prizes, at least 4 of your team members must exercise for at least 2 hours per week and submit their logs on time!
No team can be awarded the "Winning Team" more than once.

In addition to the above weekly team prizes, we will be offering "individual" prizes to those participants who exercise at least 2 hours every week. Each week, we will randomly draw a winner from each of the 3 categories below. The prizes will vary based on the level of participation and will include fitness-related items.
