City offers weight loss challenge

The city of Agoura Hills Department of Community Services will offer a new Weight Loss Challenge and Nutrition Program at the Agoura Hills Recreation Center, 30610 Thousand Oaks Blvd.

The Weight Loss Challenge is a nine- or 12-week program that teaches proper nutrition, improved eating habits and how to lose weight. Ten dollars of each registration fee will be donated to a children's charity. The remainder of the registration fees will be pooled and paid out in prizes for weight-loss winners.

Cost is $10 to attend the weekly nutrition classes, to be paid at the Agoura Hills Recreation Center. Cost to participate in the weight-loss challenge is $39, payable to the instructor.

Participants will have a personal weight-loss coach to help monitor and guide them to help them meet their goals.

Classes are available at 6:30 p.m. Mondays and 10:30 a.m. Thursdays.
