What is it? 

• Holiday Hustle is a challenge program to help you stay motivated and moving through the holiday season, while earning prizes.

• We all know how important it is to stay moving most days of the week, especially between Thanksgiving and New Year's. With final exams, semester wrap-up, holiday events, reduced gym hours, travel, family, etc. it can be tough to find time to exercise and take care of yourself.

• The Holiday Hustle challenge is designed to accommodate your busy schedule with flexible workouts that can be done multiple ways: in-person in our Rec facilities, through Live-Virtual classes, on-demand video workouts and self-guided workouts.

Who can participate? 

• Any Harvard Rec member. Crimson Holiday Hustle is FREE for Harvard Rec members. 

• If you do not already have group fitness class access, you will be given class access for the duration of the Holiday Hustle.

How does it work?

• Complete four (4) x 25-30 minute workouts per week for each of the 6 weeks to complete the challenge. 

• For each week you successfully complete, you'll receive an entry into the drawing for grand prizes. 

• We'll help you each step of the way with weekly motivation emails, tips for success and live pop-up virtual classes.
