Lean Up, a free wellness program in its fourth season, is being offered to East County residents who struggle to be fit and healthy. It’s a life-changing program for those who need it most. The program, which begins Sept. 17, is open for all to apply, but limited to 225 participants. Online application is available at www.leanup.net and in person at Diamond Hills Sports Club & Spa, 1510 Neroly Road in Oakley.

Those selected for the eight-week fitness program will participate in a small-group boot camp three days a week, meet with a personal trainer once a week, attend a nutrition and motivational group meeting and enjoy other fitness activities at Diamond Hills, where they’ll enjoy free, unlimited access to the club and all its amenities from Sept. 17 through Nov. 9.

All area residents are welcome to apply. Selected applicants will submit their most compelling reasons for committing themselves to this life-changing program, and those selected will receive the program absolutely free. Anyone 13 and older is welcome to apply, although those under 18 must obtain parental consent. All selected participants must receive medical clearance from their health care provider. Applications are due at Diamond Hills by Sept. 3. So come on, people – let’s get lean!
