Anything else the world might want to know about you: CK-FIT was started last year (2011) by Rob Checketts & Ryan Shurtleff. We wanted to motivate people to stay active and bring our team closer together. So far it has been very successful, we have had one employee quite smoking, half of our company is participating in a biggest loser competition and we have taught some nutrition classes to help along the way. Also, a large group of us have been gathering on the weekends to participate in runs such as the Winter Series, RAGNAR & others.
