Fit 4 Life is re-emerging as an employee wellness program
Welcome to Enloe Medical Center’s Fit 4 Life Club. We began as a multi-sport club in 2006 and are now re-emerging as a wellness program for Enloe employees, physicians, board members, volunteers and donors to the Enloe Foundation, as well as the immediate family of these individuals.
Fit 4 Life is for people of all levels of fitness, from the currently inactive to the social fitness walker to the most competitive racer. We hope to serve as a resource for people interested in pursuing a healthy lifestyle. We chose the name Fit 4 Life because we hope this club will motivate you to be “fit for life.” We will keep this web page updated with information and tips. See you on the road, trail, track, in the pool, at the gym – or at Enloe!
Club update
We are in the process of developing a well-rounded worksite wellness program that will support us in leading a healthy lifestyle. This could include fitness and exercise as well as smoking cessation or other activities and information employees feel they need. Our newly established advisory committee will initiate and oversee the wellness program.

Several Fit 4 Life members participated in the City of Gold Triathlon May 10 in Oroville. The event consisted of a .5 mile swim, 12 mile bike and 3.1 mile run. Awards were given to the top finishers in each age group and Fit 4 Life members took home three awards. Elizabeth Gilman (27th overall) and Lauren Swartzendruber (39th overall) took home 1st and 2nd place in their age group, while Keith Mitten (10th overall) took home a 2nd place award.
Congratulations to all of the triathlon participants.

This is our fourth commuter challenge at Enloe, and another, to take place in July, will be announced later.
How does it work?
Bike, walk or self-propel to work by any of your favorite non-motorized means for even just one day during the challenge, and complete our online survey by Wednesday, June 11, to be entered to win a fun prize. Please fill out one entry per person, and be sure to fill out the survey after you've completed your last commute day for this contest (rather than in advance of your anticipated commute). Twenty prize winners will be announced in the June 20 Enloe Extra.
What can I win?
- Four random winners will receive $25 gift certificates.
- Six random winners will receive new Fit 4 Life t-shirts.
