Challenge Details

Start Date | Oct 2024

Length | 6 Weeks

1st Place – Grace B.

Starting Weight | 59.5kgs
Finishing Weight | 60.4kgs

 

Why did you decide to join the challenge?
I joined the challenge to see just how much my body could transform in 6 weeks. I aimed to focus on my exercise routine and diet to boost my muscle growth and improve my overall body composition.

 

What made the biggest impact on your results?

The biggest impact on my results was definitely my commitment to consistent exercise and ensuring I hit my protein goals each day. By sticking to a structured workout routine and being mindful of what I was eating, I noticed significant changes in my body composition in particular muscle growth and fat loss.

 

What advice would you give someone looking to get started on their own challenge?

If someone is looking to get started on their challenge, I would advise them to set clear and realistic goals. It is important to stay committed and consistent, even when your motivation decreases. Also, don’t be afraid to track your progress with taking measurements to help you stay accountable and motivated throughout the entire 6 weeks.

Runner Up 1 – Hasnain I.

Starting Weight | 84.2kgs
Finishing Weight | 79.4kgs

 

Why did you decide to join the challenge?

I had an ACL recon around 5 months back and had gained a few pounds!

What made the biggest impact on your results?

Making cardio easier by splitting it into smaller chunks throughout the week. Planning meals 2-3 days in advance on MyFitnessPal so I didn’t have to constantly do calorie math.

What advice would you give someone looking to get started on their own challenge?

Start tracking your food & work out your actual calorie expenditure as accurate as possible. Swap out food options to more satiating alternatives (carisma potatoes instead of rice for example).

Runner Up 2 – James A.

Starting Weight | 95kgs
Finishing Weight | 90kgs

 

Why did you decide to join the challenge?

Shred up for summer.

What made the biggest impact on your results?

Cutting calories, I didn’t realise how much I was consuming unnecasaily.

What advice would you give someone looking to get started on their own challenge?

Just show up. I always find getting a PT session in on Monday means my week starts with good training intentions, and sets me up to hit a minimum of 3 sessions per week.

Runner Up 3 – Andrew H.

Starting Weight | 88kgs
Finishing Weight | 83kgs

 

Why did you decide to join the challenge?

Sibling rivalry with my brother.

What made the biggest impact on your results?

Working out consistently with a healthier diet. Avoid booze or snacks 🙁

What advice would you give someone looking to get started on their own challenge?

It’s a cumulative effort. If you slip up, don’t stress and get back to it.

Runner Up 4 – Lily B.

Starting Weight | 86.5kgs
Finishing Weight | 85kgs

Why did you decide to join the challenge?

I was already running a pretty good routine and just wanted to take it up a notch with an additional challenge.

What made the biggest impact on your results?

Feeling stronger and lifting heavier made me consistent with training and food. I didn’t weigh myself throughout and hardly looked back on any photos until the end so I wasn’t put off by any fluctuating results. Feeling better, healthier and more energised pushed me there.

What advice would you give someone looking to get started on their own challenge?

Do it, make a commitment to something and push yourself to deliver. Even a 1% improvement from start to finish is a win.

Runner Up 5 – Yalli L.

Starting Weight | 73.4kgs
Finishing Weight | 69.7kgs

Why did you decide to join the challenge?

As a motivator for better results.

What made the biggest impact on your results?

Increasing the amount of days at the gym and fasting.

What advice would you give someone looking to get started on their own challenge?

Intermittent fasting.
