OakFit Walks Michigan is a step tracking walking program from June 5th - July 30th that challenges employees to "Walk Michigan".

This walking program will challenge teams to virtually walk around Michigan and the Upper Peninsula is a bonus this year once your team has completed the Lower Peninsula! Walk in your neighborhood, community, park, or wherever you'd like and track your steps. Employees form four-person teams (*Please note: employees can only be on one team). The leader-board will be updated weekly and there will be a  $150 gift card awarded to each member on the top team. There will also be a random drawing for four other participating teams and the team members will receive $100 visa gift card.

*2,200 steps = 1 mile

Testimonials

"We really enjoyed the OakFit Wellness Program.  Being in the competition pushed us harder to get all our steps in on a daily basis. There were days when we did not want to walk or exercise anymore, but did so because of the competition.  We encouraged each other and all did extra activities; rollerblading, yoga, biking, swimming, paddle boarding etc. The program made us want to be active and stay active for longer periods of time.   We had fun as a team walking and de-stressing on breaks and lunch hours. We look forward to the next program that OakFit has to offer." -52/3 District Court Employee

"I can truly say this program, as well as my fellow teammates, really motivated me to be active, and get healthy.  One of my team mates had me walking on our lunch, 3-4 miles each day.  As a team, we motivated each other, as well as covered for each other if one of us were unable to get our maximum steps in for the week.  I was truly sad to see the program come to end, and can’t wait to see what the next Wellness program is." -52/1 District Court Employee

"The OakFit Walks Michigan Challenge was a blast! Our team worked hard and supported one another from the very first day. We motivated one another, challenged each other to push ourselves harder and tried new things to acquire more steps every day. I haven’t worked this hard in a challenge in a long time. This program was absolutely worth it and brought us closer as a team and coworkers at the same time. We are definitely coming back next year!” -Health Division Employee
