the fitter in 56 challenge is now closed.
what is the fitter in 56?
Think of this as the 8 Week Thrive-Athlete version of ’75-Hard’. Rather than a solo challenge, this will be team based, with more of an emphasis on specific tasks, targets, and goals.
We want you all to spread your knowledge, to spread your energy, and to spread your love of health and fitness. As a community we’re not just about us Thriving, we’re about spreading our energy to help all our loved ones thrive too!
At the end of the 8 weeks, the winning team will be announced and a Cash prize will be awarded. The size of the purse is directly related to the size of the challenge so spread the word!!
Community
LEARN TO WORK TOGETHER BOTH EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY.
With teams of 2-4 people you must keep each other accountable, take responsibility, and step up to achieve the desired goals and win the challenge. This is not only applicable in the Fitter in 56, but in every day life!
***In order to make this more of a challenge, someone in your team cannot be a gym member.
SCORE 1
FITNESS
LOOK YOUR BEST RIGHT IN TIME FOR SUMMER.
4 specific workouts will start and finish the challenge (test during week 1 and re-test during week 8). Each workout is to be completed by all members of the team, and will be scored on a percentage of improvement point basis.
We will be programming in the gym to help you all improve on these 4 workouts. We will also have a test for your non-gym teammate dependent on the capacity of that human, and if they do not want to come into the gym to do the workouts as prescribed. The 4 workouts will be as follows:
- WORKOUT 1 - 5K RUN
- WORKOUT 2 - 1K ROW
- WORKOUT 3 - CROSSFIT TOTAL
- WORKOUT 4 - 12 MIN METCON TBD
SCORE 2
NUTRITION
LEARN HOW TO FUEL YOUR BODY CORRECTLY, CREATE A NUTRITION PLAN AND LOSE WEIGHT.
We would like before and after photos (front, side, back). Similar to the workouts, we will be using a point based system that correlates to the Inbody readings and/or Photos that are submitted at the beginning and the end.
Thrive-Athlete will be heading the nutrition protocol.
If you have not worked with TA before it will be a full 8-week commitment for nutrition where the TA staff will assign you a macro plan and you will learn the ins and outs of nutrition quality and quantities. You will be assigned a coach and will partake in Weekly zooms, nutrition tracking with Joe or Tim as your coach.
If you have worked with TA before it will be a much smaller commitment level from you. That will be based off of the involvement you would like from your coach.
SCORE 3
mindset
WITH A STRONG MIND YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING.
Joe and Tim will send out their top recommended books, one for mindset and one for health. 10 pages of reading a day will be part of the challenge. Being healthy isn’t just about looking good, it’s also about feeling great both mentally and physically.
