Teams from companies in San Diego show the impact of their wellness programs by training for and conquering a 3-course fitness challenge hosted by Fit Company.

SAN DIEGO, CA, USA, November 10, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On October 28, 2017 participants from companies located in the San Diego area took part in the Fit Company Challenge, a corporate wellness event hosted by the Fit Company Institute. The challenge provided area companies an opportunity to come together as a team and spend a morning exercising, pushing their physical and mental limits and showing the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. Companies split their team into squads of 3 to 4 people who worked together to complete a variety of fitness stations to challenge their fitness level and earn points for their company. Teams chose what level to go through each course which allowed participants of all fitness levels to push their physical fitness without going too far out of their comfort zone.

ICW Group claimed the top spot in the Medium division adding to their 1st place finish from the 2017 Spring San Diego Fit Company Challenge. From ICW Group team captain David Wallace, “This is our second consecutive 1st place finish and as team captain I’ve learned there’s more to this victory than just fitness. Our teams encourage, motive, and inspire one another to push harder and do more than they previously thought possible. This challenge incorporates the physical, emotional, and social aspects of Wellness, and as head of the ICW Group Wellness Committee I am humbled by the effort put forth and the accomplishment of our team members.”

On event date, athletic trainers from NXPT Fitness Studio (www.nxptfit.com) assisted the participants and provided both guidance and motivation to the teams as they went through the various fitness stations and courses. Participants challenged their strength, conditioning, power, agility, and ended with a test of endurance to show their companies and colleagues that they practice what they preach. Participants used their involvement to bring out company team members, and family members to cheer them on and promote the importance of having fun and effective corporate wellness programs at their companies.

The challenge was held at Nobel Athletic fields, located a short drive from San Diego, CA.
