Last Chance to Enter our 6 Week Epic Team Challenge! All you need to know is here.
Hi everyone, hope you're having a great day so far!
This is a very big one, so I'll do my best to keep it brief. But this is the biggest and best challenge we run all year. It's so much fun, and the results you get with your body is bloody phenomenal.
Here's what you need to know to get through this info quickly:
1) If you have done the challenge in the past, know exactly what it is about and want to enter, click this link:
And that's it. For everyone else.....
2) If you have never done the challenge before, and not sure if this is right for you. Then continue reading, or call me on 0413 017 416. I'm happy to talk you through all details over the phone. I don't want you to miss out.
3) I've put together of FAQ's and answers below to give you more of an understanding of what it's about:
6 WEEK CHALLENGE DETAILS AND FAQ'S
1) Entry fee explained. The $120 covers the cost of your before & after body fat scan ($40 each) and the remaining $40 goes into the cash prize pool that you have a chance of winning.
*BHC doesn't make any profit from this challenge. All monies actually go back to you.
2) How does it work?
For 6 weeks, you'll earn "points" or "kilometres" for every healthy thing you do for your body. Every workout, every run/walk, every day you eat clean earns you points which you bank. There's a communal online google sheet where we enter all our points, with an individual and team leaderboard, so you can see everyone's points
It's a challenge based on effort, not how fit you are. If you're worried you can't get to the gym anymore than you currently are, that's ok. There are so many ways you can earn extra km's apart from vigorous exercise. eg, Clean Eating = 4km per day, 7 days of no alcohol = 10km. So every time you do something healthy for the body, you earn km's
Even though you can enter as an individual or in pairs, I strongly encourage you to allow yourself to join a team. It's way better.
Every participant who wishes to be put into teams will work together to run/ride/row from Sydney to Perth. Your aim is to do 4000km as a team in 6 weeks.
The format of this challenge is to deliver optimum results. eg:
Individual v Team challenge. The team challenge always wins. You're more likely to succeed if you are part of a community, helping and supporting each other as opposed to doing it by yourself.
Free v Paid. Anytime we've run a challenge, the ones in which you pay for get WAY better results than free challenges. By paying to join*, you're committed more. Simple.
Everything we do here at BHC is about having fun and building community. So if you're worried to join in case "you'll let the team down" there's no need to worry. It's a super fun and supportive challenge. No one will berate you or make you feel guilty. You're part of a safe BHC community.
3) How are teams picked?
Teams will be put together on the launch night, Monday. September 25th. Everyone doing the challenge needs to come to the launch night, and get your first body fat scan. If you are doing the challenge and can't make launch night please let me know.
Although I will let you give me preferences on whom you'd like to team up with, I'll make final team choices to make the teams even and so you can meet new people.
I'll do my best to make the teams fair and even!
4) What about if I'm travelling for a portion of the challenge?
You can still run/ride/workout and clean eat whilst you are away. I'll add some bonus km's you can earn by doing workouts wherever you are. Eg, 20 burpees = 1km, 500 skips = 1km.
You can earn bonus extra points no matter where you are. Eg. this year, you'll get 4 bonus km's per day for clean eating Monday - Friday, and 8km's per day Saturday and Sunday. That's a potential 36 km's per week just for eating and drinking right.
So you can still participate regardless of travel.
5) Are the trainers entering?
Yes! We need to stay fit too! But trainers are exempt from any cash prizes.
6) Are there cash prizes for best individual and group performances?
All money collected (minus expenses of the challenge) will go back into the prize pool. I haven't calculated this year's prize pool yet but in 2019, the prize pool was over $3600!
But remember guys, winning isn't the be all and end all. The idea is to build team spirit, transform your body, burn fat, workout more than ever and come into Summer in the best shape of your life!
There's still so much more detail to come, but for now, all you need to do is sign up to the challenge, come to the launch night and get ready to rip in.
