8 Dec 14 - Civ fitness / President's Challenge / Army Wellness Center

Question:  GCSM:  How do you all feel about the Civilian Fitness Program, President’s Challenge, and Army Wellness Center?

Answer:  Heard that you can only sign up for Civilian Fitness one time. 
GC:  I had answered yes  but unfortunately that was incorrect.  Civilian employees can only sign up once for the program.  We did a pilot with IMCOM but there was no change to the regulation.  The next class will start in May 2015.

Answer:  President’s challenge – people don’t remember to log in and update their data.

Answer:  GC/HGC:  I encourage you to check out the wellness center at FS.  It gives you a total body analysis.  Fitness is only one piece of it.  There are plenty of free services that you can apply to your lifestyle.  Family members over the age of 17 can also use these services: nutrition / stress / sleep study / fitness / bod pod / etc.  Safety incidents have dropped in the last 2-3 years. 

The FEI/Fit for Life program that we conducted helped a lot of people.  Some people changed their diets, and some had to go to the hospital to get further observations due to high cholesterol, heart attacks, diabetes, and high blood pressure.  Without attending the class, they were not aware of how bad their situations were.

So there are a lot of great programs out there for you to take advantage of.
