Lose2Win: Winter Warrior Challenge

January 19 through March 1

Push your limits, have fun and compete for prizes in the Lose2Win: Winter Warrior Challenge. This program combines team-based weekly challenges with individual performance goals, giving you multiple ways to earn points, track progress and celebrate success.

How it works.

Participants will have the chance to win individual and team prizes. Individual prizes will be based off “most lean mass gained” and “highest percent of body fat lost”. There will be one male and one female winner, and each can only win one category. The team prizes will be based off most points earned during the 6-week program.
