* More than 200 people participated in Connect 4 Fitness, a four-month motivational program at the Edward Health & Fitness Centers (EHFC) in Naperville, Ill. The program encouraged EHFC members to try new exercise formats, attend different types of classes and get to know their exercise instructions and each other on a first-name basis. Each month, participants earned points for attending a new fitness class, trying a different exercise format, wearing a name tag while working out, and taking part in other designated EHFC events. Members with 36 points got a chance to win special prizes.
