PROVINCETOWN — The 100 Provincetown Fitness Challenge participants are looking at the home stretch this week, the ninth week of the 12-week fitness regimen.
The program, founded by Provincetown personal trainer Denise Gaylord, ends on April 7 with a weigh-in at the high school gym. At the beginning of the self-guided program, each participant agreed to eat more healthy foods, exercise more frequently and keep track of their own progress in a daily journal.
The Times has been following three participants: Selectman and builder Austin Knight, innkeeper Kathleen Fitzgerald and photographer Dan McKeon.
“I’m fine, but I’ve been straining on the diet,” Fitzgerald said on Thursday. She’d slipped up, she said, with a pina colada drink. But in nine weeks she’s also managed to reduce her pants size by one. “I’m looking for the finish line.”
