| Description: | Citing the effects of obesity and diabetes, Midtown Athletic Club and The Center for Medical Weight Loss on University Drive this fall will co-sponsor the “Ultimate Weight Loss Challenge: Feel Great in Eight,” an eight-week weight loss competition for South Floridans. Limited to 30 entrants, the contest runs from Sept. 15 to Nov. 3.
Unlike similar weight-loss competitions, where contestants are eliminated after each weigh-in, the Ultimate Weight Loss Challenge requires a buy-in. This guarantees eight weeks of competition, and full-access to both facilities. Included are weekly conferences with experts in health, fitness, nutrition and beauty. Grand prizes will be awarded in both a men’s and women’s category.
The initial fee provides for two months of free equipment use and fitness classes at Midtown Athletic Club, 2300 Royal Palm Blvd., Weston. Midtown will also offer to contestants two personal training sessions each week. The Center for Medical Weight Loss on University Drive, located at 2209 N. University Drive, Pembroke Pines, similarly, will offer a comprehensive medical examination, along with counseling, nutritional supplements, and a meal replacement menu.
Each week, Ultimate Weight Loss Challenge competitors will be weighed at Midtown using a sophisticated scale that calculates body composition—among other indexes—with 99% accuracy. Owned by The Center for Medical Weight Loss, the scale will remain at Midtown through the holidays.
“We’re honored to team with The Center for Medical Weight Loss on this idea of a healthy competition,” says Steve Strumpf, Midtown General Manager. “Like many, we’re quite familiar with the incredible success story of founder (and Midtown member) Gabriela Rosenthal, who is seen as both a champion and an inspiration to those who struggle to maintain their weight.”
Strumpf is quick to add that last year The Center for Medical Weight Loss was awarded the “Reader’s Choice Award” as the best medical weight loss business in Broward County,
Rosenthal’s success stems from a personal battle to overcome a family history of obesity and diabetes. A mother of four, Rosenthal failed at virtually every diet—until she realized the connection between nutrition, fitness and a healthy lifestyle. She credits Midtown’s facilities, programs and staff for helping her to shed 130 pounds in two years. Vowing to help others like her, Rosenthal founded The Center for Medical Weight Loss in 1993.
“I feel fortunate to have found Midtown,” says Rosenthal, who attributes her success not only to diet, but perhaps more importantly, to maintenance. “You need a place to maintain your new life,” she explains. Rosenthal especially likes Midtown’s flexible hours—they’re open most days from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. “They offer the whole package,” she adds. “They offer the whole lifestyle.”
