Are you READY!?!?!?

A couple posts-ago, we mentioned that Bill Germanakos, season four's winner of NBC's "Biggest Loser", and our own Mark Koning had a VERY competitive game of ping pong during Bill's recent visit to help us launch the "Biggest/Healthiest Loser" contest at RCI. Here are the two of them in action - I gotta tell ya, Bill had a WICKED spin on his serve!
Afterward, both had smiles for the camera, but Mark's was just a little larger, as he was victorious in a tight game. You can bet Bill will be back sometime for a re-match!
Bill signed plenty of autographs while he visited: and he encouraged everyone and anyone to contact him anytime for encouragement, questions, or just to say "hi". If you need to know how to contact Bill, find out at rci@promotionfitness.com
Bill drew an interested crowd wherever he went. He graciously answered every question, signed every autograph, and generally had a great time, whether in the cafeteria, the Oasis, or with management in the Town Hall meeting - Bill covered it all!
Here's Bill on the left, flanked by Wendy Cooper (owner of ProMotion Fitness), and some of the fine "A-Team" coaching staff that has been assembled to help us on our BHL journey: Lindsey Willard, Tom Hanley (you may recognize Tom from the RCI fitness center!) and Chris Roche.

The first step of our Biggest Healthiest Loser adventure begins this week with evaluations and weigh-ins on Wednesday (9/16 - for phone staff) and Thursday (9/17 - for non-phone staff). It should take about a half hour, and at the end you will receive your personal nutrition and exercise plan (after a brief consultation with one of the coaches to determine the best plan for you). The contest "OFFICIALLY" kicks off Monday, Sept. 21st!! Get ready for an exciting and HEALTHY twelve weeks!
