Hockey FIT

Hockey FIT program postponed until spring 2021

Feb 13, 2021 | 12:42 PM

Hockey Fans In Training (FIT), a program dedicated to giving men aged 35-65 the opportunity to get active and lose weight, was scheduled to be taking place in Red Deer this month.

Due to the pandemic, the free program unfortunately had to be postponed until this spring.

The government-funded initiative comes from research conducted at Western University and proven training programs that help men lose weight through a 12-week cycle.

Hockey FIT is partnered with the Red Deer Rebels as well as the YMCA of Northern Alberta to offer the program and promote a healthy approach to life in Red Deer and central Alberta.

All in-person sessions will comply with strict public health guidelines of the day to ensure the safety of all participants during the pandemic.

The good news is that the program is still recruiting participants, so if you missed out on the original registration, now’s your chance. A final schedule will be determined at a later date. Registrants will also be put into a draw for $100 gift cards and season tickets.
