Wow. Just – wow. 30 Days ‘Til Summer, the first thirty day fitness challenge at Freestyle, was successful beyond our hopes. More than fifty participants came, got their sweat on, did their food prepping, followed the clean eating plan, and saw amazing results in just four weeks. Even better? They learned that eating healthy, wholesome foods to nourish their muscles and bodies is completely doable. Insert “give a man to fish/teach a man to fish” reference here.

We’re beyond thrilled on the instructor side, but let’s take a second to see what our challengers thought.

“I have to say to all the instructors, and participants, you have driven me, and helped me through adversity to complete this 30 day challenge. My wonderful wife has been diligent in feeding us healthy, and through some very difficult personal tragedy she stayed on course. We have succeeded because we were accountable to each other. I did this challenge to eat right for 30 days, not to lose weight. I added the appropriate protein and stayed on course for the most part, and I feel sooooo much better physically. I love this gym, it truly feels like family, and friendships are being developed.”

“Glad I was able to do this to Kickstart my workout regime again. I love this gym, the instructors and the people. Very motivating place.”

“I love Freestyle! I feel strong and healthy! The challenge was great! Thanks to all the instructors! This is more than a job for you and you all put so much in to it to help us be the best versions of ourselves!!”

“After a long week of kicking booty stretching it out and calming my thoughts, I feel energized and healthy! I am so proud of everyone who completed this challenge! And I’m really grateful to Freestyle Fitness for … how encouraging and supportive they have been these past 4 weeks! I feel stronger and healthier than I have since before having my baby. I’m setting myself up with good habits and I’m looking forward to keeping up with them! Thanks for everything! ”

“I’m kinda bummed the challenge is over:( I’m so pleased with the classes and instructors and love the results I’m seeing.”

“What a spectacular experience …I’ve been to quite a few gyms. ..and I can honestly say there aren’t many gyms that make you feel so united, with instructors who genuinely care for your well being…and all the friends I’ve made are great people. I can honestly say I will be a lifetime member of FREESTYLE! THANK YOU!!! I can’t wait until the next challenge!”

The positive feedback goes on and on on our locked challenger Facebook page. We had an incredibly active online community, and it was so gratifying to watch our challengers celebrate their successes and raise one another up. Nutrition questions were asked and answered (big thanks to our nutritionist, Gina Gilbert-Green), virtual hugs and high fives were constantly given, and it made for a really great spot to be.

30 Days ‘Til Summer was so much fun, we’re doing it again. Get ready for our second thirty day challenge, Blitz, coming this July! : )
