What is Shape Up Omaha?
Shape Up Omaha is a twelve-week weight-loss program where teams of five to ten individuals work out with a certified personal trainer for three hours a week and receive nutrition education and accountability from a certified nutritionist. Teams are weighed in each week by their trainer and rewarded based on their percentage of weight loss.

The next session of Shape Up Omaha begins September 13, 2010.
