Get FIT at Pickle

Get FIT at Pickle is a 10-week fitness, weight loss and behavior change program run by the experts at FIT.  The goal of Get FIT is to help participants improve their fitness, lose body fat and implement health behavior changes that can be maintained for a lifetime.

Get FIT at Pickle involves two workouts a week conducted at the Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG). Classes are a balanced mix between cardiovascular and resistance training, the goal being to maximize weight loss from fat and improve daily functioning.

Get FIT at Pickle consists of no more than 10 people. Once classes begin to grow, we hope to have different levels like our program at UT. This Get FIT session will be All-Levels.

To participate you need to be in good health and injury free. We will ask you to complete a medical history questionnaire and may require a doctor’s clearance, if significant risks are identified.
