2008 Participant Perks

More coming; stay tuned!

Tee-shirts: All getfit@mit participants receive a free getfit tee-shirt. When you activate your getfit account, you’ll need to select your tee-shirt size. You can pick up your tee-shirt (and even those for your teammates!) at one of the getfit@mit mid-point events on March 13, 2008—from noon to 2 p.m. in the Bush Room (10-105) or at the Lincoln Laboratory Fitness Center from noon to 1 p.m.

Discounted DAPER day passes: All getfit participants are eligible to buy discounted day passes at either the A-Center or Z-Center from January 28 through April 20. These special getfit@mit day passes cost $5 (regular cost is $12) and are good for six months from the date of purchase. To buy a discounted day pass, simply visit the main desk in the A-Center or Z-Center and present your getfit@mit registration page (printed from your getfit@mit account online) and a photo ID. Make sure you tell the customer service staff that you are a getfit participant and would like to buy a day pass at the special getfit rate. You may pay for the pass using cash, personal check, or credit card.

Eat Well and Be Rewarded! MIT Campus Dining is offering getfit@mit participants a new way to dine this year. The “Balanced Way” program offers diners in Café 4 (Building 4) and Forbes Family Café (Stata) a simple way to choose healthy dishes—and getfi@mit participants can earn free meals and prizes when they choose Balanced Way meals.

To earn free meals, pick-up a Balanced Way frequency card at getfit@mit events, Café 4 (Building 4) and Forbes Family Café (Stata). Have it punched each time you order a Balanced Way meal and, after 10 punches, trade your card for a free meal!
To enter special getfit@mit raffles, get a second punch on a getfit@mit/Balanced Way raffle card each time you order a Balanced Way meal. After your 10th punch, drop the card in the raffle box at the Forbes Family Café or Café 4. Raffles for great prizes will be held during getfit midpoint and closing events. You can pickup a getfit@mit/Balanced Way Raffle Card at getfit@mit events during the challenge.

Discounted tee-shirts from VistaPrint: In years past, some getfit@mit teams have enjoyed designing their own team tee-shirts. This year, VistaPrint is offering getfit participants an easy and inexpensive way to bring your team tee-shirts to life! You can choose your design from one available on the VistaPrint website or upload your own, add any text you’d like, select your tee-shirt color and size(s), and leave the rest to VistaPrint. Plus, just for being a getfit@mit participant, you will receive a 33 percent discount off your order. To activate your getfit discount and to get started designing your team’s shirt, visit http://www.vistaprint.com/getfit. As an added bonus, be sure to check out all other custom printed products that are available to you at a 25 percent discount!

Discounted DAPER trial membership: All getfit@mit participants are eligible for a discounted, three-month Recreational Sports membership. This trial membership, which is available for purchase between January 14 and January 31, 2008, and ends on the last day of getfit@mit (April 20, 2008), allows access to all campus athletic facilities, including the Zesiger Sports and Fitness Center (Z-Center), Alumni Pool, Wang Fitness Center, duPont Gymnasium, Rockwell Cage, and the Johnson Athletic Center’s indoor track and ice arena. The cost is $120, which represents a $105 savings on the regular three-month membership rate. The nonrefundable $120 fee can be applied to the cost of a full-year membership, continuing from the end of the original three-month term, and ending one year from the purchase date of the initial trial membership. Trial memberships will be on sale only through January 31, 2008.To take advantage of this benefit, you need to print out your proof-of-registration page from your getfit@mit account and bring it to the main desk at the Z-Center or A-Center, along with a photo ID. You will need to complete the Z-Center’s membership application and waiver form as well. You can pay for your trial membership with personal check, credit card, or cash. For more information on the Z-Center and other athletic facilities, including hours, visit the Z-Center website at http://web.mit.edu/zcenter/. If you have additional questions about the special getfit@mit trial membership, contact Z-Center Customer Service staff by email at gallaje@mit.edu, or call 617-452-3690.
