Help us celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Grande Prairie's most effective weight loss challenge!

The Fit ‘N Firm Challenge was developed by Laura Hancharuk in January 2001, for the Be Fit For Life Centre at Grande Prairie Regional College.  The program was developed in an attempt to provide safe, practical knowledge for those who would like to lose weight, and provide incentives to keep participants motivated throughout the 12-week Challenge.

Thousands of individuals in Alberta and British Columbia have achieved their weight loss and healthy lifestyle goals through participating in the Fit ‘N Firm.  Over $142,750 in prize money has awarded to participants since the challenge’s inception.

It is our commitment that the Fit ‘N Firm Challenge will continue to grow and evolve to ensure that we will always offer a quality program that will enable our clients to reach their goals safely and effectively!
