Conquer Mount Denali

Fitness Challenge Powered by Move. September 1 – 30.

Begin your journey to conquer Mount Denali, ascending its 20,000-foot peak by accumulating 150 minutes of exercise each week. For every 150 minutes completed, you gain an elevation of 5,000 feet. Remember to track your exercise minutes at the Fitness Desk, and as you reach each 5,000-foot milestone, you will ascend to a new camp on the mountain.

Activities to reach 150 minutes each week:

  1. Virtual Fitness Classes, Powered by Move: Open the Move Virtual Fitness tile inside the Center mobile app, then tap the Reach the Peak Challenge to access a variety of at-home workouts, including meditation and yoga. Every minute counts!
  2. On-site Fitness Activities: Check in at the Center and enjoy group fitness classes, swimming, working out at your own pace on the fitness floor or personalized workouts with Volt Guided Fitness.
  3. Outdoor Activities: Connect with nature while progressing toward your exercise goal with outdoor activities like walking, running, cycling or hiking.

Bonus Boost: Participate in on-demand Virtual Fitness Classes, Powered by Move and receive double workout minutes toward your weekly goal, giving you an extra boost in your progress.

Remember, every minute matters in achieving your 150-minute weekly goal!
