As many area residents set New Year’s resolutions focused on health and wellness, the Mount Pleasant Rec Center is inviting the community to turn those goals into action with its annual “Lose It!” Weight Loss Challenge.
The individual challenge runs from January 9 through March 8, with registration open December 8 through January 9. The program is designed to motivate participants to build healthier habits at the start of the new year while competing for prizes and accountability along the way.
Participants will have a chance to win a $300 grand prize, which includes a cash award, a yearly individual Rec Center membership, and four personal training sessions. Second place will receive a six-month individual membership and four personal training sessions, while third place earns a three-month individual membership.
Registration fees are $20 for Rec Center members and $30 for non-members. The challenge is open to individuals looking to jump-start their fitness journey, stay consistent with New Year’s resolutions, and make lasting lifestyle changes.
Those interested can register or get more information by contacting the Mount Pleasant Rec Center at 319-385-2960, visiting the facility at 200 E. Monroe Street, or online at www.mprecctr.com
The Mount Pleasant Rec Center encourages residents to make 2026 the year they commit to healthier living—and reminds participants that every step forward counts.
