- Live in Alabama or work for an Alabama-based company

- Register online or visit an official weigh-in site
The Wellness Center will be a private weigh-in site for AUM students and employees.

The Wellness Center is offering an AUMazing prize of its own…a one-year membership will be given to the team selected in a random drawing if both team members each lose 10 pounds. Your team may be composed of individuals outside of campus, but they will only be eligible for prizes awarded by Scaleback Alabama.
