Simply email [email protected] to sign up.

Once registered, participants will receive four text messages each week filled with challenges, fun content, and ways to get “STRONG.” An added benefit is free virtual and On-Demand content for all participants, including workout routines, classes, recipes, nutritional advice, meditations and more.

For those participating within a close proximity to the YMCA, the Y is providing free, once-a-week access to the facility for the duration of the challenge.
