Meadow Ridge Celebrates Its Inaugural Neighborhood Challenge

At Meadow Ridge, camaraderie and wellness go hand in hand—and earlier this fall, that spirit came alive during the community’s inaugural Neighborhood Challenge, a monthlong celebration of health, teamwork and community pride.

Residents from across the community joined forces in three spirited teams—the Laurel Legends, the Maple Mavericks and the Spruce Spartans—each representing a Meadow Ridge neighborhood. For one month, participants tracked their workouts and encouraged one another to stay active through fitness classes, outdoor walks and on-campus programs.

By the end of the month, all three teams had achieved remarkable results:

• The Laurel Legends: 318 workouts
• The Maple Mavericks: 307 workouts
• The Spruce Spartans: 301 workouts

While the Laurel Legends claimed the title of 2025 Neighborhood Challenge Champions, the excitement extended far beyond the competition. Residents’ enthusiasm for staying active led to a significant community milestone.

“Congratulations to our three neighborhoods for exceptional commitment to thrive in 2025,” said Fitness Manager Jaime Silverman. “Their dedication resulted in a remarkable 20% increase in class visits, making September the highest number of class visits ever recorded at Meadow Ridge.”

The monthlong challenge not only encouraged participation but also strengthened bonds among neighbors and highlighted Meadow Ridge’s dedication to holistic wellness. Staying active is easy at the community. From the indoor saltwater pool and state-of-the-art Ridge Range golf simulator to yoga, Pilates and balance classes, residents enjoy a diverse fitness experience that inspires confidence and connection.

As the first Neighborhood Challenge concluded, it was clear that Meadow Ridge had sparked a new annual tradition—one that blends health, camaraderie and joyful living.

“We’re already planning strategies for next year,” one resident said with a smile. “It’s about fun, friendship and feeling great together.”
