FIT Week Recap: The Highlight Reel /// 3 Comments ///
By Cheney
By Jeff, H3 Program Intern
Well another successful FIT Week is finally in the books! I hope ya’ll were able to keep up with all the action, but in case you happened to miss out I’ll catch you up to speed by way of the most memorable pictures of the week.
As the week came to a close at the awards ceremony on Friday night everyone was nothing short of exhausted, yet still in high spirits due to the week’s events. It was certainly a week to remember, fun-packed with memories that will last each of us a lifetime. Relationships formed, successes achieved, and major accomplishments were far and few in between.
As the guests were given awards and their official H3 Train for Life bands, the Calibogue lecture hall filled with laughter, which continued forth into the official FIT week 2009 video. It was at this point that Guests realized that they had done it – whether it was grinding out the rainy Beach Bootcamp or pushing themselves thru the drizzly Team Triathlon each of our Guests overcame some sort of challenge.
That being said, FIT Week 2009 was unquestionably a success.
Lastly, congratulations to Amber’s Sea Turtles for fighting off Adam’s Alligators and a job well done to all participants – each of you truly made last week special.
Anyways, check out the highlight reel and vote on which image of the week you think takes top honors!

Fit Week Update: Precipitation Pump Up! /// 2 Comments ///
By Cheney
These Guests are moving faster than I can type! Check out today’s FIT Week update from Jeff, H3 Program Intern.
Quick! Grab a coat or seek shelter since this FIT week update could get a little wet!
Despite the rain on this fine Wednesday morning, FIT week set off for the official Beach Blast Bootcamp. As we loaded the vans up with two tires and twenty towels there was some slight apprehension, however in next to no time the uneasiness vanished as we hit the beach. Rain or shine the guests were pumped up– not only looking to score points for their respective teams, but for the chance to participate in what was undeniably an authentic Bootcamp.
Today we have to give thanks to the rain because the excitement was very surreal! With the wind howling and rain pouring down, it served as a motivational tool for each and every person to kick it up a notch. It may have been raining cats and dogs, but Guests used it to their advantage and overcame every challenge Adam Martin, H3 Fitness Director, threw at them.
The morning took us all back, back to when we were all children playing in large puddles, but with a few tires and a beach involved. Roughly an hour and a half of waterlogged exercise later, everyone was still smiling and geared up for the afternoon classes!
Anyways, check out the pictures from the featured fitness class, as it was truly a morning to remember. The good thing is there’s more to come because FIT week has just begun!
Oh yeah and don’t forget today’s affirmation: “I will make positive changes”

As promised, the daily Fit Week update is here. However, today’s blog features something a little bit out of the ordinary.
As the emotions and excitement run high, Tuesday night dinner brought a great time for each team to enjoy the BEAUTIFUL fall weather with a little relaxation. Throughout the week, the teams have been working hard, reaching different fitness goals and overcoming various fitness challenges. So last night’s dinner in the Courtyard was well needed (and deserved)!
With a gorgeous sunset in the background, each Guest enjoyed a wonderful cookout to the tunes of the Hilton Head Christian Academy Jazz Band.
As the music played on, the guests danced and laughed, enjoying each other’s company in a night full of camaraderie and fun.
In my years at H3, it was definitely one of the best events I have experienced. Walking into the Courtyard you could feel the joy and comfort pouring from each Guest. I must say, it felt magical.
Take a look at some of the pictures from the night…and I promise…there will be video clips to come!

Fit Week Update: Shipyard Challenge /// No Comments ///
By Cheney
By: Jeff Ford, H3 Program Intern
It’s FIT Week – Let’s get ya’ll up to speed on today’s events!
As the clock struck 9:30am this morning, teams were busy devising their plans for the exciting H3 Shipyard Challenge. All four teams were active in their assigned rooms, sorting out their strategy and brainstorming the desired routes to take. Questions arose, such as which direction will yield the most flags? Which locations will have the flags with the highest point values?
So much to plan, so little time! Guests became so caught up with the anticipation of the challenge this morning that Metabo Meals were the least of their worries. So what was the goal of this so called “Shipyard Challenge”?
Similar to a scavenger hunt or capture the flag affair, the rules were as followed:
- Groups (Alligators, Dolphins, Marlins, and Sea Turtles) were allowed to split themselves into two teams
- Everyone had to stay with their team/group members at ALL TIMES
- Each group was given 2 legends illustrating where flags could be found throughout Shipyard Plantation
- The GOAL of the challenge was to collect as many flags as possible, however stealing flags from other groups was strictly prohibited.
- Once a flag was found, teams had to stake their logo in place of the flag, thus signifying to other groups that the flag has been collected from that post area.
The greatest part about the Challenge today was certainly the participation. When it comes to working out and focusing on lifestyle change it’s all about showing up – each team really stood strong this morning and there was nothing but encouragement all around.
When push comes to shove, the Shipyard Challenge was a success for everyone because exercise is all about having fun. Each team truly enjoyed themselves, while getting a great two hour workout in. If you’re curious, the results are below, along with a picture of the team who found the most bandana’s (flags)!
Amber's Sea Turtles
Shipyard Challenge Flag Totals:
Amber’s Sea Turtles: 24 points
Adam’s Alligators: 13 points
Beth’s Dolphins: 9 points
Bob’s Marlins: 5 points
There’s more to come so make sure to check back with H3 daily, the points are really racking up for all the teams!
Remember today’s affirmation: “Change Your Mind, Change Your Life.”

Fit Week is here! /// 5 Comments ///
By Cheney
Get Excited! The second FIT Week ever is upon us and all four leaders are ready to rock! Personally, I have never experienced FIT week, but from hearing about the inaugural FIT week – it’s obvious that I really missed out on the first one.
Spirits will be sky high and the excitement around Hilton Head Health will be at full intensity! It’s really going to be difficult to keep H3’s doors from blowing open with all the Guest enthusiasm and the electrifying atmosphere that draws near. This is certainly a weekend to get plenty of rest in preparation of what’s to come!
Not to give anything away, but this week is revamped and setting up to be better than the first. To reveal a little bit about the week ahead, there will certainly be more of a focus on fitness with crazy team adventures. Did I say team? Yes, that’s the best part of the week – all H3 Guests will be split into one of four teams led by none other than the H3 health specialists themselves!
To explain a little bit more about FIT week, the entire design is around fitness distinctive lectures, featured fitness classes, and incredible outdoor excursions. The customary schedule is still in effect; however unique team events and off the plantation adventures are jumping from behind every corner.
That’s all I’m going to say for now, but below are the four teams for the week! Check out each of the chosen animal emblem’s by H3 squad leaders, and let’s take a poll on whose team you like the best! To come to a decision, take into account your favorite H3 team leader and the ferocious (or gentle) mascot characterizing their teams!
Amber's Sea Turtles
Bob's Marlins
Adam's Alligators
Beth's Dolphins
Remember to check back next week for the “H3 FIT Week TWO photo BLOG,” which will capture all the best moments from the week. It will definitely give you a greater understanding of what went down, and you’ll feel like you were right here with us. Thanks again taking the poll and checking out the teams.
