And that’s that! We just wrapped Better Together, our first fitness challenge of 2015. Eight weeks of unlimited fitness classes, a nutrition plan, hands-on instructor support and a serious community of likeminded people. So how do our challengers sum up the experience? Pretty much like this: “LOVED IT!”

We had more than fifty challengers this go-round, and the energy and enthusiasm were high right from the start. As the weeks passed – we won’t lie – things got rough for some of our challengers. But those who truly committed stuck it out and the rewards are sweet:

“A huge thank you to Freestyle and all of the amazing instructors that helped us meet our goals during this challenge. I feel incredibly accomplished and so much stronger and healthier than I did eight weeks ago – I am down a dress size, have some muscle tone, and a good mood too! This was just what I needed to kick start a healthier lifestyle!”

More feedback:

“…I expected to lose weight and get in shape. What I got was not so much weight loss but tons of toning and shaping. I didn’t really see the changes start until about six weeks into it, doing five to six workouts a week. Eight weeks seems like just the beginning of the body transformation and I am definitely going to continue my training at Freestyle and am excited to see the improvements in myself continue. The instructors were high energy, very encouraging, and each different in their approach while maintaining the integrity of the program (stretching, safe movements, challenging workouts, etc). I would tell anyone I met and liked to try this place, 100%!”

Freestyle’s fitness challenges stand out from the bevy of challenges offered around town. Why? We don’t make promises lightly. This isn’t a “work-your-ass-off-for-fifteen-days-and-done!” kind of challenge. Eight weeks really is just the beginning – it’s where you develop the tools to begin living a healthier lifestyle. That’s what you’re getting when you sign up for a fitness challenge at Freestyle. And it’s the kind of stuff that’s really invaluable.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Better Together. Many of you signed up, and we can’t wait to see you in class! Keep an eye out for our next challenge, which will kick off in early fall.
