This 8-week program is designed for all fitness levels and will challenge you to climb the world’s tallest and most important buildings…in the comfort of your own Y! It’s a great way to learn about notable world landmarks while engaging in a healthy lifestyle.

Starting August 5, participants will be given the chance to scale a new building every week by logging their workouts. The more you climb, the more you’ll earn. Challenge participants will earn one raffle ticket each time they ‘climb’ up and down a building. Activities that will qualify for the challenge include: Stair Steppers, Treadmills, Elliptical Machines, Rowing Machines, Group Exercise Classes, and Swimming Laps. Distance conversion charts will be available on site.

Weekly raffle prizes will be available and $50 in Y Bucks will be awarded to the Top 3 finishers at the end of the challenge.
