This year's Winter Challenge winners in Doylestown were crowned on Monday! The winners are: I Lost It - New Hope

Congratulations to Ginger Mosier, who took first prize in the Cornerstone New Hope 2008 Winter Challenge!
She lost 23.7 pounds and 14 inches during the 60-day competition! If anyone needed proof that Zumba is the fastest and most fun way to "lose it", just ask Ginger! Second place went to Jennifer Fritch, who lost 16.3 pounds and 5.5 inches. Despite a grueling work schedule, Jennifer was extremely dedicated to her goal, coming in late nights and working with a personal trainer to achieve her results. Great job to you both for all your hard work!

The New Hope Heart Award went to Suzanne Joyner. Suzanne was nominated by her personal trainer, Felipe Sanchez, who has been impressed with Suzanne's commitment to fitness - she is always ready for a challenge! And, if her own health wasn't enough of a reason for her dedication, she also inspired us by recently signing her mom up for the Silver Sneakers program and faithfully driving her in for the classes! Congratulations Suzanne!
I Gained It
1st Place - Mai Pham with an improvement of 325%!
2nd Place - Veronica Moore with an improvement of 250%!
Great job to you both on the challenge!

The I Gained It Heart Award went to Peter Finelli. Peter is a new member who told us that he "hadn't been to a gym since he was a kid"! Peter joined Cornerstone in January with his wife, Jennifer and their son, Peter. During the ILI/IGI program, he took every training challenge, tried a lot of new classes, and really got into fitness. He told us that "it was so fun, I had to get in on everything!". And he did a great job as an IGI competitor, too, showing a 205% improvement over the 60 days of the program! Peter is proof that fun and fitness do go together! Peter won a 3-pack of Personal Training sessions, a Polar Heart rate monitor, a Cornerstone gym bag, windbreaker, workout towel and water bottle. Great job, Peter!
I Lost It
Well, in an amazing turn of events, we actually had a tie for first place in the I Lost It Challenge this year!  It's the third year we've held the challenge, and people just keep doing better and better!  This year, the prize was shared by John Hagan, who lost 46.5 pounds and 25.5 inches, and Jordan Evans, who lost 37.5 pounds and 31.5 inches!  Amazing job by you both!
The I Lost It Heart Award went to a former Cornerstone staff member who got bitten by the health and fitness bug while she was working at our Doylestown Service Desk! Sara Wasson decided to take the challenge, and endured personal training sessions with Clark Simons two days a week, while squeezing Zone classes and everything else in-between! She won the push-up training challenge along the way, and demonstrated a level of dedication and determination that we felt was worthy of this year's Heart Award! Sara won a 10-pack of Zone classes, a Health for Life RMR assessment, a Cornerstone gym bag, windbreaker, workout towel and water bottle. Great job, Sara!
