Health Update: La Vita Celebrates 10 Years of Wellness in the Portage Community | Press Room – What Experts Say

PORTAGE, Wis. — Aspirus La Vita Fitness Center is proudly celebrating its 10-year anniversary this February, marking a full decade of supporting health, movement, and community connection. To honor the milestone, the center is launching a month long celebration featuring fun fitness challenges for members and special 10‑Year Anniversary T‑shirts.

La Vita’s Supervisor of Preventative Health and Wellness Services, Sydney Renik shared the team’s excitement by saying, “Reaching ten years is something we’re incredibly proud of, but what makes it truly special is celebrating it with the members who have been with us along the way. This challenge is our way of saying thank you and encouraging everyone to keep choosing wellness with us.”

The anniversary challenge, running from February 2 through March 2, is designed exclusively for La Vita’s current membership base of 1,989 individuals. The team chose to focus this celebration on existing members to recognize the people who have helped shape La Vita since its opening day. The challenge encourages participants to complete a series of ten daily wellness activities, each inspired by the ten‑year milestone. The goal is to complete each of these exercises five times throughout the month. These include walking 10,000 steps, completing 10 squats, stretching for 10 minutes, performing 10 lunges on each leg, spending 10 minutes on any cardio equipment, completing 10 pushups, engaging in 10 minutes of resistance training, drinking 10 glasses of water, taking 10 minutes for meditation or reading, and finishing 10 crunches.

Members who complete the full challenge will be entered into a random drawing for one of three prizes: a free month of membership, free 24/7 access for an entire year, or a complimentary personal training session.

As La Vita steps into its next decade, the center remains committed to fostering a welcoming, supportive environment for every individual on their wellness journey.

La Vita offers a wide range of membership options, including senior, military, employee, and other categories to ensure accessibility for the entire community.
