About the Community Weight Loss Challenge

A 10-week health challenge for individuals and companies, promoting weight loss and overall fitness, will be launched in conjunction with the Chamber's "Healthy New Year, Worthington" Health & Fitness Expo on Jan. 10 at The Shops at Worthington Place.

This website registration page is your opportunity to sign up online to participate in the challenge. (Please do not sign up online if you have already signed up in person at the Health & Fitness Expo or if you plan to do so.)

The challenge will begin on Monday, Jan. 14.

A fee of $5 will be collected with your registration (later to be donated to the nonprofit whose team has the highest average weight loss among all team participants). When you click REGISTER NOW on the screen at right, you will be directed to the page where you may enter your major credit card for payment of the $5. After following the prompts, be sure to click "submit" to ensure that your registration is validated. You must also complete the fields for your name, date of birth, choice of charity "team" and email address to complete your registration and enable you to receive confidential information from the Community Weight Loss Challenge corporate wellness website.

Choose a "team" from four local non-profits: the Chamber; Healthy Worthington Resource Center & Food Pantry; Leadership Worthington; or the Worthington Educational Foundation. (At the conclusion of the challenge, the team with the highest percent of weight loss will receive the collective $5 contributions.)
When successfully registered, you will receive a confirmation message. Within a few days (by Jan. 15 at the latest), you will receive an email directing you to a confidential, HIPAA-compliant corporate wellness website. The site is maintained by The Rite Bite, a professional wellness organization, not the Chamber, and none of your information will be accessible to, or shared with, the Chamber or any other party.  When you reach the website landing page, you will be asked to:

One participant who diligently completes the weekly entries on the website also will win a valuable prize following the challenge. The names of all participants who desire to be part of a drawing, and who complete their self-reporting each week for 10 weeks (regardless of their weight loss results) will be entered into a random drawing to win a one-year Silver Membership to The Rite Bite (fithess and nutrition center), to take advantage of fitness equipment, fitness classes, nutritional counseling, relaxation and stress-alleviation offerings and other "Rite for You" services.
