50 fitness focused people have gotten motivated to work out over two active sessions per week and have agreed to follow a comprehensive meal plan.

Cassandra Newsome and Nigel King say the challenge also provides for confidence sessions, an online support system and a fortnightly one on one progress and goal setting session.

Miss Newsome said they were expecting around 20 challengers to register for the health and fitness initiative that heavily focuses on living a balanced life and regaining confidence.

“To see 50 people register is an amazing result and a real credit to those who have taken the step to change their life,” she said.

Newsome added that they are dedicated to support their members and is even calling them unexpectedly during the week to make sure they are staying on track.

“I once weighed 115kg so I know first-hand how hard it can be, but if I can do it then so can they and I believe in each and every one of them and will be there to support them the whole way,” she said.

“It’s great to see such a mix of locals participating in the challenge with high school students and older adults with all different fitness levels.

“So far everyone is really motivated and encouraging each other, we have an online support group and everyone posts pictures of their meals and fitness tracking as well as inspiring quotes, support really is the key to staying on track”

The winner of the challenge will walk away with a $1500 prize pool and will have an outstanding attitude, team work, positivity, dedication and a good attendance record throughout the 12 weeks. 

There will be a runner up and also encouragement awards too.   

 “We will all be fitter, stronger and more confident than ever by Christmas,” she said.
