2019 Summer Challenge Winners & Results

Our annual Summer Body Challenge has come and gone for another year. Yet again we were blown away by the amount of registrations we had, the effort everyone put in and the results at the end. This year we added a fitness element to the 8wk challenge where all challengers would be put through an identical workout, both at the beginning and end, with the difference in results being measured.

Our fitness test was :

10mins, as many reps as possible

10 assault bike calories

10x medball slams

10x kettlebell high pulls

10x push ups

Our winners from the fitness portion of the challenge were:

JADE who increased her total rep range by 33 reps and

JORDY who increased his total rep range by 42 reps (more than a full round!)

The body composition section of the challenge was judged across a few areas: body fat percentage difference, lean mass difference, fat mass difference, total skinfold difference and total girth measurement difference.
