Burke's Fitness Battle

Fall 2025 Burke's Fitness Battle is Under Way! 

Form your teams and join the Battle.  This isn't a fitness competition, this is a team-based support community to remind you to be a little active each day and hopefully build your sense of community at BCC! 

Reach out to Michael Carnevale mcarnevale@berkshirecc.edu with any questions!
