Health and fitness boot camp has largest graduation yet.

 

A twelve week health and wellness program had 80 graduates with participants losing a total of 2,600 pounds, according to WYMT. Organizers Shelebra Bartley, a physician assistant at Barkley Medical Weight Loss, and Tara Hatcher, owner of Shake Senora Fitness, want to encourage residents of eastern Kentucky to live healthier lifestyles through nutrition and exercise. Their “Biggest Loser” award went to Bethanie Bentley who lost over 70 pounds. Hatcher and Bartley donate their own time to the 12 week camp and only ask participants to pay it forward.
