2026 Financial Fitness Challenge
Follow along and get inspired!
Financial Fitness Challenge Kick-off
Here at CommonWealth One, we want to empower members to take actionable steps toward their financial wellness. That's why we've launched our Financial Fitness Challenge—to help three of our members crush their financial goals through personalized coaching and support.
This year’s Financial Fitness Challenge features real members with real goals, each working toward stronger financial health with guidance, support, and accountability. So, follow along as these participants work with the CommonWealth One team to build healthier financial habits and share their experiences. Maybe you'll be inspired to start your own financial wellness journey!
