  •  Submit your cell phone number with your weight to join the "WhatsApp Fitness Group" that will be managed by Rotem Hadas
    (PE teacher at Akiba and private Pilates instructor)

By emailing: rhadas@akibaacademy.org

  • Please note your weight will not be shared with the group but only personally with Rotem.
  • Each participant must set a realistic goal that they want to achieve by the end of the 60 days, and if you are not sure of
     a goal then Rotem can advise.
  • Over the 60 days, Rotem will share nutrition tips, recommended physical activities and you are welcome to share meal ideas, recipes, and activities that are helping reach your goal.
