Eighty southeastern Wisconsin business executives put themselves to the test by agreeing to take part in the Small Business Times Fittest CEOs Competition.
SBT partnered with the Wellness Center of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Athletic Club for the competition to provide awareness of how health and wellness affect the workplace and also to promote executive health. The executives were professionally examined for endurance, strength and body makeup.
Small Business Times salutes each of the executives who participated in the program.
