Each week, over the course of the program, you will be required to weigh-in either at home (by submitting a picture of your scale via email), or in the studio… beginning exactly one week from your start-up date. If you’re sending in photos from home, they need to come in on your weigh-in day, or they are not counted for that week.

Every Sunday, you will receive a weekly email with nutritional guidance, a fun fitness challenge, and updates on the progress of the competition. The individual who loses the greatest percentage of body fat will be announced and receive the prize for that week. Prizes include class packages, gift cards, nutritional products, and fitness gear.

Any time during the month of February, you can schedule a 30 minute follow-up session with one of our personal trainers. During this time, you can discuss your progress and reassess measurements, modify your program/routine, and review your food journal entries.

8 weeks from your start-up date, the challenge will end with a final weigh-in, “after” pictures (pics are always optional), and a comprehensive follow-up assessment to discuss your plans moving forward.

The entry fee for the 8-week program is $150.

$50 of each person’s entry fee will be placed into a cash pool. At the end of the 8 weeks, the money in the pool will be split amongst everyone who has lost 8% of their total body weight (1%/week).

To calculate how much weight you’d need to lose to win the cash prize, take your body weight and multiply it by .08.

For a 150 lb person…150 x .08 = 12 lbs of total weight loss in 8 weeks.

For a 200 lb person… 200 x .08 = 16 lbs of total weight loss in 8 weeks.

With 20 participants, the eligible cash prize would be $1,000

With 50 participants, the eligible cash prize would be $2,500

With 100 participants, the eligible cash prize would be $5,000

In addition to the weekly giveaways & grand prize, three additional prizes will be awarded to the individuals who have accumulated the most bonus points by the end of the competition.  First place will receive a 10 session personal training package ($500 value).
