Testimonials 6/6/2014 11:31:40 PLUS: I loved it!! I appreciate all the work that went into this program. The set up (teams and how they were chosen...), opportunities for exercise, and food classes were all varied and well thought out. I was able to attend multiple exercise classes and one of the food classes. I wish I had done more. Love it. DELTA: none :) 6/6/2014 14:20:26 PLUS: Nice start to a program! Opportunities every week! Healthy advice. Well done. DELTA: I would like to have access to the weight room in the afternoon (4 - 5 PM?) Is that a possibility?
