I am on the FitLinxx program and I would like to stay on it.
FitLinxx technology has supported our FitQuest programs since 1998. While current at the time, FitLinxx has not improved the technological advancement of the software since its installation, therefore no longer meeting the wants and needs of our members. Consequently, we will discontinue use of FitLinxx as of June 30, 2011.

What happens to my FitLinxx points?
Your FitLinxx points will be transferrable to the new FitQuest program and prizes will be given out accordingly.
