The Lifestyle & Biggest Loser Challenge will teach participants simple ways to jumpstart healthy habits and up their energy levels.

Those interested can register at 10 a.m., Oct. 1 at Muscle House Gym in Gilroy on 110 Old Gilroy St. The challenge is open to anyone within the community, with all weigh-ins to be conducted on Saturdays at Muscle House Gym.

The first weigh-in will take place at 10 a.m. Oct. 1; the last at 10 a.m. Jan 7. Contestants can join any time during the first two weeks, with a $1 penalty fee for missing a weigh-in; a $1 penalty fee if your weight stays the same and a $1 penalty fee for each pound gained.

The first place individual and first place team will split the prize money 50/50, while the second place individual will be awarded with prizes donated by local vendors. There will also be a chance to win monthly prizes throughout the challenge.
