Three Cities Determined for Scale Crusher 2012 Competition

Published Date

SportsMX’s own weight-loss project, Scale Crusher 2012, is getting ready to host its second annual competition. A poll was recently conducted to determine which three out of eleven candidate cities would have the opportunity to host their local Scale Crusher teams. 

With that being said, we are excited to announce the three cities that earned the most votes: Rochester, New York; Denver, Colorado; and Clearwater, Florida. There will be a personal trainer working with contestants in each city: Scott Lipitz for Rochester, Lori Hilary for Clearwater, and Kelly Gibbs for Denver. Eleven candidate cities were selected based on the availability of deaf and ASL-fluent certified personal trainers.

Scale Crusher 2012 try-outs will begin in March 2012 and the weigh-ins will begin in April. The competition, with a brand-new format, will last for twelve weeks, ending in July. The contestants from three cities will participate in this competition by weighing in every Saturday morning for twelve weeks with their team coach. Try-out locations will be announced soon. Eligible contestants should be at least thirty pounds overweight.

This is a competition for the contestants to have fun and be able to lose weight! Additional information regarding contest rules, qualifications, and expectations will be available on www.sportsmx.com. Be on the lookout for more information coming on the 2012 Scale Crusher competition either on SportsMX website or facebook page.
