Meet the 2023 Get Fit Winners
Grand Prize
Meet Deepti Mannan, our Get Fit Challenge summer 2023 first place winner.
“Exercise is part of my everyday life; I log in to the Get Fit Challenge during my morning and evening workouts,” said the registered nurse who works in Fishkill, NY.
The Poughkeepsie, NY, resident will receive an Oura Ring, which is a unique tool to track fitness and sleep to reach her health goals. “I am working on my bachelor’s degree, and I have to read so many articles; the best way is to play them on audio and do the workout simultaneously,” she said.
Second Place
In second place is Jessica Quartarano of Poughquag, NY, a middle school teacher and mother of an 8-year-old son.
“During my summer break, I like to try to stay active to keep up with my son, who has endless amounts of energy,” said Quartarano.
She swims at the pool often, does workouts at home and utilizes the rail trail to go for bike rides, jogs and walks.
“This challenge really helped to motivate me to move my body, even if I wasn’t fully feeling up to it… I love pushing myself to do better than I did the time before. Thanks for putting on such a wonderful challenge!” she said.
Quartarano will receive a Theragun Mini, so she can treat her aching muscles after intense workout sessions.
Third Place
Our third-place winner this year is Gail Meldon, who works as an executive assistant in Danbury, Connecticut.
“The Get Fit Challenge kept me focused on what I wanted to accomplish for myself,” Meldon said. “Exercising is part of my everyday routine. I have two grandbabies, and I am sure there will be more in time; I want to be around to see them grow up.”
Meldon believes good health is the foundation for a fulfilling life. Regular physical activity, or even simple activities like walking, can improve cardiovascular health, increase muscle strength and enhance flexibility. It also helps in managing weight, reduces the risk of chronic diseases, and improves mental well-being.
“By combining regular exercise with a nutritious diet, I try to maintain a healthy weight and improve my energy levels and overall well-being,” she said. “Prioritizing my exercising and nurturing family relationships are key ingredients for maintaining good health and leading a balanced life.”
Meldon will receive Apple AirPods, which are a terrific way to listen to music or podcasts while working out.
