  • Circuit Training
    Description:
    Besides getting a complete workout that continues to burn fat for up to 24 hours, making friends with your co-workers from across the County is another big plus for any of our exercise classes. But it seems to happen even more in this class. And once you start getting to know everyone, you want to continue to come and see your friends! A good motivation to keep you being physically active. Come try it just once! If you do, I bet you will be back!
  • Description:
    Lots of you have questions about DROP, so our own Benefits Administrator, Angela Arnett will explain everything you need to know about DROP and answer any questions you have about the program. Mike Davino, a Certified Financial Planner with U-Vest Financial Services, will then talk about how the Retirement Benefits the County offers, can enhance DROP and the options that are available regarding how you can invest that money when it comes. We are offering this right before Open Enrollment so you can think about any additions, deletions or changes you may want to make regarding your retirement benefits during the Open Enrollment period, which runs from Monday, October 20th through Friday, October 31st. Lunch will be served. If you need a vegetarian option, please email Mary Barley at barleym@leoncountyfl.gov and let her know.

Annual Events

Live Well Leon offers an annual Walking Challenge that also includes additional challenges within the Challenge to improve various areas of well-being, such as eating more fruits and veggies, getting more sleep, drinking more water, etc. Live Well Leon provides fitness watches to anyone that doesn’t have a fitness tracker to monitor their steps. Prizes are awarded by drawing the names of teams who have completed the Challenge, as well as those who started the Challenge but couldn’t finish it. (Life does get in the way of our intentions sometimes but making an effort counts!)

Each fall, the non-profit, Working Well, whose mission is to help improve the well-being of our community’s workforce, hosts their annual Corporate Cup Challenge. This Challenge encourages teams from local business and government organizations to get outside, do some team building and have fun! Teams of four compete, with one team member biking, one running, one paddling and one doing strength and endurance exercises. Only one team can take the coveted Corporate Cup back to their office for the year, but plaques are also awarded for the All Male, All Female and Co-Ed teams and the best individual efforts in each leg. Plus, there is a Spirit Trophy given to the organization that brings the most co-workers, family and friends to cheer their teams on. Live Well Leon is always looking for teams to participate in this fun event!

Each November, Leon County holds its Annual Awards Breakfast. Live Well Leon created the Well-Being Awards to honor the Leon County employee who has made the most improvement in each of the four areas of well-being our program focuses on. Employees can apply themselves or be nominated. The winners include:

  • The Lego Award for Community Well-Being
  • The Ladder Award for Career Well-Being
  • The Champion Award for Physical Well-Being
  • The Butterfly Award for Social Well-Being

The annual Live Well Leon Souper Bowl Cookoff started in 2013. The week before the annual Sunday Super Bowl, employees sign up to bring either a soup, stew, bisque or chili for the Cookoff. The employees rank all entrees and then a panel of three “celebrity” judges, decide which of the top five ranks 1st, 2nd, and 3rd! The judging was so archaic to begin with, that in year five, Mark Early, the Supervisor of Elections, who was a judge, offered for his office to create a special ballot just for the judging and even had a couple of his employees bring an official voting machine the day of the event for us to enter our ballots. The top three winners get a $75/$50/$25 gift card.
