2010 Fittest Exec Challenge Winners and Participants Recognized
Winners of the 2010 Fittest Exec Challenge – sponsored by Bank of America, the University of Tennessee Medical Center, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee, the YMCA of East Tennessee, and WVLT-TV – were recognized March 23 at Schmoozapalooza II.
Modified from last year, 2010’s Fit For Business included competitions among C-level executives and employees at all levels.
The Fittest Exec Challenge was designed to recognize executives that are setting a standard of health and fitness for employees to follow.
The 2010 winners are:
Female: Susan Long, Insurance Systems (runner-up: Amber Young, First Tennessee)
Male Under 40: Jonathan Johnson, A&W Office Supplies (runner-up: Michael Leventhal, Tennessee Men’s Health Network)
Male 41-50: Jim Waldrop, Ideacom Technologies and Allen Tillman, Tillman Companies

The Employee Fit Club Competition provided businesspeople with opportunities to improve their overall health by engaging in a competition based on improving their fitness level. Participants in the Employee Fit Club took two six-point fitness tests. The first test established a baseline and the second determined improvement. Winners were identified based on their percentage of improvement from the first test to the second test.
