ABOUT BE FIT


​Be Fit is a 10-week program launched in January 2005 that focuses on improving the health and well-being of our employees.

Every ten weeks, employees from different departments within the hospital compete with each other as they make a commitment to be fit.

While the program is a group competition, each team member is also provided with individualized support to meet their personal wellness goals.


TESTIMONIALS

"I think this has been one of the most amazing benefits I have received at MGH during the last 17 years. It really is amazing to be a part of an institution that cares about their employees."

"I loved it!  The team (nutrition and club) was excellent, such a nice benefit!  I would HIGHLY suggest it to all staff interested in changing their lives in a psychologically safe and supportive way."

"The things I've learned I will carry with me through life!  How awesome is that?!"


Our Registered Dietitian's educate participants on healthy eating habits, like selecting healthier fats and eating mindfully. Many team members are starting physical activity programs for the first time and they learn how to incorporate a fitness routine and build strength by working with our trainers.

Each participant pledges to attend weekly 30-minute group meetings and our three rallies, which foster competition among the teams. Additional commitments include:


  • Following healthy eating recommendations as outlined in group meetings
  • Keeping weekly food and exercise logs
  • Attending weekly sessions with a personal trainer
