* How to Preregister
Be Well Philly is excited to offer a variety of fitness classes at this year’s Boot Camp. Several of these classes are large enough to accommodate all attendees, while some have limited space. In an effort to ensure that each attendee has an equal chance to join one of the smaller classes, sign-ups for these classes will be determined through a lottery system.
Here is how the lottery works: When you purchase a ticket to the event, you will be able to indicate which of the smaller-size classes you are interested in taking. One week prior to the event we will have the lottery selection and send out notifications to those who are selected.
Please contact: [email protected] with any questions
