HOW IS A WINNER DETERMINED?

The main goal of the weight loss challenge is to serve as a motivator for you to lose weight - finding a winner is not our main focus. In saying that, we understand that having a challenge with winners does help to motivate and we do like to acknowledged great results. Results are determined by calculating the total percentage of body weight lost across the 50 day period. The person who loses the greatest percentage of their body weight wins.

WHAT IS THE PRIZE FOR THE WINNER?

The 50 Day Weight Loss Challenge winner will WIN a personal trainer FREE for 1 year valued at over $2000. 1 session FREE every week for 52 Weeks. Personal training sessions are 1 on 1 30 minute personal training sessions. Personal training sessions do not accumulate, sessions must be used 1 per week. Personal training sessions are not transferable to another person. Personal training sessions are not refundable for cash or transferable to another service or product.

CAN I REALLY LOSE WEIGHT IN 50 DAYS?

We don't like to promote rapid, unsafe weight loss or fad diets that result in weight lost only to be regained immediately after. For this reason you won't see weight loss like you see on the biggest loser from our 50 Day Weight Loss Challenge. We have consistently seen weight loss of 1-2kg per week and a high success rate of people keeping the weight off following the end of the challenge. Weight loss does vary greatly due to everyone having different goals going into the challenge.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I MISS A WEEK?

It's the not the end of the world if you can't make a week of training but we do need you there for the first and final week weigh ins to make your score official. We expect that things will come up at short notice that may interfere with your training during the 50 day period but we do want a commitment from all participants that an effort will be made to make all training sessions. We provide the body weight training plan to keep you on track in the event you can't make a session.

WHEN IS A WINNER ANNOUNCED?

The night following the end of the 50 Day Weight Loss Challenge is our Christmas Party - Friday 7 July starting 7pm. We will acknowledge great results from the challenge and present prizes to the winner and 1st & 2nd runners up on the evening.
