Sweat’s Pastor Challenge

Fourth quarter of 2009, Sweat offered its first 12 week challenge for free to all the pastors in the Anthem community. Twenty pastors from various churches and organizations came together to lose weight for a good cause.  While participating in Sweat’s rigorous exercise and diet program, local businesses sponsored their efforts.  Not only did the pastors collectively lose just less than 400 pounds, but they also rose close to $10,000 for the local Salvation Army and We Care of Anthem.
