The # 9to5 Challenge is soaring to new heights thanks to a new partnership with Planet Fitness .

The # 9to5 Challenge is the first fully supported beginner and intermediate running programme that runs for eight weeks at a time and offers training for 5km , 10km and 21km distances . The # 9to5 coaches take a hands-on approach to guiding you to completing your chosen distance , and increasing performance while doing so .

All the programmes are designed to start you off slowly , building a proper base to achieve sustainable fitness , and the interval sessions that the coaches facilitate tackle all aspects of running that you might not be motivated enough to do on your own , such as hills and speedwork .
We don ’ t believe in just giving you the basics , we want you to succeed , so we give you all the tools you need , and this programme is guaranteed to give your running the edge it needs !

CORPORATE CHALLENGE
Are you looking to boost company morale and see your employees fit and healthy ? These days companies are taking employee health and wellness far more seriously and are searching for solutions to combat rising health issues and healthcare costs . Unfortunately , some companies try to implement wellness programmes with little to no experience , or planning , and as a result , more programmes fail than succeed .
This is where the # 9to5Challenge can tick all the boxes for a Corporate Health and Wellness Programme , where the hands-on coaching style will make the world of difference to the health and wellness of an entire company ’ s staff , and to the benefit of the business , while also offering a great team-building opportunity .
Engagement , motivation , support and strategy are the keys to a successful programme . If employees are not involved in the solution , it ’ s difficult for them to feel motivated to attain their goal , and that ’ s where the # 9t05Challenge outruns other programmes .
Why not give the # 9to5 Corporate Challenge a go and see what it can do for your company wellness . Visit www . modernathlete . co . za or contact Lauren at info @ pfmaclub . co . za for more information .
