Look for the squat challenge posted in the Fitness Centre and GroupX areas.
Do the specified squat (we will have varying levels of difficulty) at the JCC.
Get your sticker from the fitness monitor or GroupX instructor.
Add sticker to the tracking chart located at the Fitness Centre and GroupX Studio.
At the end of the eight days, names with all eight challenges completed will be entered into our draw to win one of three prizes.

Not at the JCC for one or two days of the challenge? That’s okay – catch up when you return!
Eligible entries will be placed into a draw on Friday, January 3 for the chance to win one of three prizes:
