Registration

Welcome to the Vandal Fitness Challenge Registration. This years competition consists of two divisions, "Average Joe" and "All around athlete." The "Average Joe" division will be separated into Men's and Women's categories. Scoring will be a combination of body fat percentage loss, fitness testing, and food and activity logs. The "All Around Athlete" competition will also be seperated into men's and women's categories but scoring will be a different combination of body fat percentage loss, fitness testing, and food and activity logs.

Upon body fat measurement and fitness testing a recommendation will be made upon which category to enter but you are free to choose either All-Around Athlete or Average Joe divisions. There is a $10 registration fee that will be deducted from your student account upon registration. You will also sign up for a testing time. You will receive a water bottle upon testing completion and a t-shirt upon the 10 week completion. Click the link below to register now.
