We’ve just concluded our 20 week challenge. An event that saw over 100 people over the Central Otago and Southland regions in our community make massive changes in their life. The results are in and the lifestyle transformations are amazing.
The event now in its fourth year has seen it’s biggest community engagement. Participants meet with their coaches and decided their goals for the 20 weeks and get a plan to help them hit their goals. Goals included, weight loss, lifestyle changes, eating habits, mental health changes. “The commitment we’ve seen this years has blown me away” says Chantel “It’s great seeing our community succeeding together.”
Along the way the challengers banded together in teams to Race NZ. In the gym they would travel the distance of NZ together. Running on tredmills, cycling on bikes, taking classes all to add to their total. We had over 30 teams competing in the race over the month, it was great fun.
Now that the 20 Weeks have finished the participants submit a report of their experience in the challenge. The rest of the community votes on their favourite transformation with the winner taking home the grand prize a weekend getaway in Queenstown.
“Covid lockdowns had been unkind to me, working from home with the pantry at arms length & the social isolation of not getting out & about contributed to a fairly unhealthy change in lifestyle. the big number for me was my body age, I started at an inactive 70 yr equivalent & I really felt like that most days, & now I’m coming in at an active 40 yr old. My sleep has improved, blood pressure is down & I feel generally like doing more.” one of the participants says.
A final celebration for the event is happening this weekend with all participants joining together for a final hike together and awards to celebrate everyones achievements.
