What is SLC Gets Fit?
Salt Lake City Gets Fit is a fitness program for the entire community, brought to you by Salt Lake City Corporation. The goal is to raise health awareness, encourage long-term habits of physical activity, and provide fun ways for all of us to get out and enjoy the city while increasing overall fitness and well-being.
Exercising together with a group is important because people who exercise with others are much more likely to make fitness an integral part of their lives. Besides, it is pleasurable to get out with friends and family. In addition, we can all get to know our neighbors better and more fully enjoy the recreational opportunity and beauty our communities offer.
2008 Program
SLC Gets Fit consists of three main elements:
- Online exercise tracking organized into teams of five with personal goals and a team competition element
- Utah's largest outdoor doubles volleyball tournament
- 5K Run
Online Exercise Tracking
12 weeks from June 1 to August 24
The program centers around the online exercise tracking program which will kickoff the first week of June. People can sign up in teams of 1-5 people and log their minutes of exercise for a 12 week period. Prizes will be awarded on both an individual and team basis. Individuals meeting the minimum goal of an average of 150 minutes of exercise per week will be rewarded (30 minutes x 5 days per week) at occasional intervals as will the top teams at then end of the 12 weeks.
Everyone who joins SLC Gets Fit will receive a t-shirt and water bottle for joining the 12 week exercise and will receive instructions about our June kickoff when they register. Participants will receive weekly emails with exercise and nutrition tips, program reminders, prize announcements, and advice on gearing up for our 5K Fun Run in September.
Doubles Volleyball

The SLC Gets Fit Doubles Volleyball Tournament is an annual tradition and has quickly become a competitive favorite, signifying the true kick-off to summer in Salt Lake City's parks. 2008 marks the 31sth anniversary of what has become the state’s largest outdoor volleyball tournament.
