I Need Your Help!

So, I have been thinking about starting a Wellness Program at my office for the longest time and I'm finally ready to get this show on the road! What I really need is a little input from people. I want to kick it off with a team based competition. So, people would be in teams of 3 or 4 and have a weekly check in where they would get points for various things such as eating right, drinking lots of water, exercise, getting enough sleep, etc. Each person would set a new weekly goal, as well as a overall performace goal and get points for meeting those also.

But, being that I have no money in our budget for this little ditty, I'm gonna have to charge a fee to participate. Although, I did get money put in for next year! Yay me! So, if you'd answer a few questions with your opinion, I'd be very grateful!

1) How much would you be willing to pay to participate in this challenge?
2) What do you feel is a good duration for the challenge? Long enough to feel you really made progress, but not so long that you lose interest.
3) Would you expect the Wellness Program (basically me!) to provide you with opportunities and resources to succeed with the challenge or would you think it was okay if you and your team were solely responsible for meeting your goals?
4) Any other ideas or advice on how to make this a success?? I'm really excited!!

Thank you for your help!

On another note, the boot camp is now officially official! I have an appointment on Tuedsay to do my "pre-assessment". Yay. I have a feeling this is going to include getting my fat pinched in areas that I do not want to be pinched! Ew!

this is a great idea!
1) i would pay $25 or so. maybe the overall winner gets part of the pot??
2) 6-8 weeks
3) you might could provide them with websites to check out, but ultimately let them be responsible

i found a website last night that has workout routines and some nutritional information. you can also pay for customized workout programs - this might be a good resource for them

OOOH I NEED TO PONDER THIS but IMO its alot about the encouragement and less about the 'getting stuff'

also when Ive organized things like this companies (local stores?) were always THRILLED to donate items or coupons.

maybe assemble a swagbag?
