Youfit, one of the nation's fastest-growing, friendliest, eco-friendly line of health clubs, is introducing a 60 day transformation challenge to its members: 60 Days to a Better YOU. In-club sign-ups begin February 16 and the challenge begins March 2.
Interested members can sign up at their preferred Youfit location and will be required to undergo an initial assessment, weigh-in and "before" photo on either February 26 or 27. A mid-challenge assessment will take place the week of March 30 by appointment and a final assessment, weigh-in and "after" photo will take place on April 30. The member who completes all three assessments and has the highest percentage of weight loss will be rewarded with $5,000, a free one-year membership to Youfit and 15 YouCoach sessions. The member with the highest weight loss percentage at each individual club will also win a one-year Youfit Membership and five YouCoach sessions.
"We see this sort of friendly competition happening organically between our members," says Youfit Founder and President Rick Berks. "We decided to take it to the next level by offering incentives and providing our members with resources to push themselves to reach their goals."
The one-time entry fee of $20 grants participants access to free fitness boot camps lead by YouCoach personal trainers five times per week at their local Youfit club. YouCoaches will also be available for consultation and participants will receive specialized e-mails with exercise tips, healthy eating suggestions and exclusive challenge content to keep them motivated. All participants who complete the challenge will receive a finisher t-shirt. Participants are required to take part in all three assessments to be eligible to win a prize.
"We not only want to get people offline and into the club to maximize their physical activity," says Berks. "We also want to ensure safety by having our experts assess their activity to make sure the weight loss is happening in a healthy way."
