“Nearly a month after the holidays, many people are still struggling to take off those extra pounds put on through holiday indulging. The Clipper-Herald asked three of the gyms in the area for their suggestions on battling the holiday bulge. ‘One exciting thing we’re offering is a program called ‘I lost it at the club,’ said Jill Davis-Haussler, manager of Anytime Fitness. ‘Twenty-five people have signed up so far.” The program is a lot like ‘The Biggest Loser’ reality television show, except that instead of competing against each other, Anytime Fitness members are competing against other health clubs. The program started Jan. 5 and was suggested to clubs that are part of the International Health Racquet and Sports Association (IHRSA). ‘I got people talking about it before the new year by putting up signs in the club,’ Davis-Haussler said. ‘I still have people joining every day. The most weight loss the first week was 3 pounds, which was surprising.’ Davis-Haussler thought there would be more as people would be in a very competitive mode, but was glad they were progressing at a healthier pace. In fact, the average weight loss of the gym members has been two pounds a week.”
