Welcome to the official site of Shape Up Montana a team wellness program designed to get Montana to "Shape Up". This program takes health care by the horns by getting people involved in their wellness. Shape Up Montana works because of the team format; making fitness fun and creating accountability.
Shape Up Montana is a fun, interactive three-month team competition from February 1 - May 1 that encourages Montanans to develop healthy physical activity and eating habits. The teams are made up of a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 10 people.
Since 1990 Montana has steadily increased in obesity among adults and children. In 1990 Montana's adult population was less than 10% obese, in 1999 we were at 14.7%, in 2010 we hit 23.5%. The Big Sky State Games understands that these are trends we need to change. That's why we are encouraging all Montanans' to embrace the Shape Up Montana program.
Entry deadline is January 24 - Teams will be accepted throughout the program - T-shirt deadline is February 7
