Fitts Bit Challenge
During the month of March, we asked employees to be part of the Fitts Bit Challenge 2019. This challenge encouraged all to become healthier by being mobile and active. Participants tracked their walking steps daily via several devices such as a Fitbits, Apple watches, Garmin trackers, smartphones, and even simple pedometers.
For 2019, we are happy to congratulate our top three winners:
- First place: Anthony Contello
- Second place: Brittany Kennedy
- Third place: Jake Korn
Anthony walked well over a 1 million steps! His total came out to be equivalent to 521 miles. Brittany Kennedy walked over 700,000 (352 miles) and Jake Korn walked 564,000 steps (252 miles). Congratulation to our top three walkers for winning the challenge and achieving this wellness milestone.
