Checklist Challenge 2024

Welcome to our first ever Checklist Challenge!

We have coached countless nutrition challenges for over the years. It is always a challenge to improve the approach year after year. The principles always stay the same, but the delivery changes.The beauty of the delivery changing is that different strategies and approaches will resonate will different clients. So even if this is your 50th challenge with us, we are quite certain you will learn something new that feels sustainable. 

I am a sucker for a good checklist and I know a lot of you are too! We feel confident that this will resonate with you on some level and help you hone in on some healthy habits

Tools to be used:

  1. A checklist, of course! We have created and printed 100 checklists dated for the entire challenge. The front side will be the checklist and the backside will be a cheatsheet complete with organized boxes with FAQs we have had over the years. This is NOT available electronically. Yep, that's right, we are taking you back to the stone age with good old paper and pen. You can even use gold star stickers if that helps ;-)! We are even going to give you a custom magnet to hang this baby right on your refrigerator. Our favorite part of the checklist is at the end, it will prompt you to check your percentages. This information will be crucial to continue your results. It will show you exactly what you need to focus on and where your strong points and weak points are.
  2. The Styku scanner will be our overall measuring tool. This machine calculates weight, bodyfat and inches! That way we can look at the whole picture of results, not just scale weight. You will get a video on how to scan and the do's and don'ts will be on your checklist. Each person will need to scan to gather all of the data for their checklist. You will write your own numbers on the checklist for the initial and the final weigh in. WE  will confirm the accuracy when you turn them in. 
  3. Private Facebook group. This is always a great way to share wins, struggles and ideas. This has been such a powerful tool over the years and we hope to fill the feed with checklists! 
  4. *Optional, but encouraged* We are encouraging each client to take their own before and after photos for themselves. Our cheat sheet on the back of the checklist has detailed instructions on how to take a great before and after photo to see full results. You could even do this with a pair of your favorite jeans that are snug and see the difference in the fit at the end of the challenge. We want to use all the tool to help you stay on course when the challenge is over! 

Results = motivation! 

How do we determine the winner?

There will be 4 winners!

1.) The best overall percentage (some of it is honor system, but we will double check GFNH attendance. If that shows to be incorrect then participant will be disqualified)

2.) Most inches lost from waist and hip

3.) Most bodyfat percentage lost

 4.) Most weight lost

**The same person CAN win multiple categories!

Prizes include GFNH swag bag, $100 gift card to Nutre Meals, or 1 free CoolSculpting session.

 Start date: Monday, January 15, 2024

Scan in by: Monday, January 15, 2024

End date: Friday, February 9, 2024

Final Scan: Due by Tuesday, February 13, 2024

Let's do this!

Can you spot the difference and tell me why it matters?

🚨Spoiler Alert below ‼️ 🚨


Pivoting your toe toward the wall is a crucial step in this power move! The force is coming from the hip, but if your hip isn’t following the ball then you’re just rotating from your lower back.

Deadball over the shoulder 

Can you spot the difference and tell me why it matters?

Deadball over the shoulder is a fantastic exercise. Targeting quads, shoulders, core and more!

But you have to be careful once fatigue sets in..

We have to be intentional about squatting for the ball every time. Bending over to pick up that ball is not a functional movement we want to drive home. If fatigue sets in then you can grab a lighter ball or be insanely intentional about hinging to grab the ball. Training safe requires more intention and less ego- trust me, I can tell you from experience.

Check out the video below to see the difference!

Sled & Ski Erg Challenges!! 

Who doesn’t love a challenge?! Challenges are supposed to be hard and worked at overtime to show you that with hard work comes results! 

These challenges will be in “Levels” so everyone can participate regardless of fitness level while also having the ability to put in the work and “Level Up” aka progress! 

So what’s the challenge??

1 minute Ski-Erg Challenge:
Level 1: 100 meters in 1 min
Level 2: 200 meters in 1 mn
Level 3: 250 meters in 1 min
Final: All level 3 people - most amount of meters in 1 minute determines overall Ski Erg Champ!

2 minute Sled Push Challenge:
Level 1: 45lbs on both sides - 6 times length of green
Level 2: 90lbs on both sides - 4 times length of green
Level 3: 135lbs on both sides - 3 times length of green
Final: All level 3 people 150lbs per side - 2 minutes to complete furthest distance to determine overall Sled Push Champ! 

Once you have completed the distance in the allotted time for Level 1, you level up to Level 2 and so on! If we feel necessary, more levels will be added, but these are great, challenging starting points! We will be keeping track of this using the big white board in the gym to keep each other motivated and of course in friendly competition. 

BOTH challenges will start on Monday, January 1st and end on Friday, March 22nd!

FINALS will take place on both Thursday 3/21 and Friday 3/22 that way everyone from Level 3 gets the opportunity to get their final push to claim their title as CHAMP! 

And, speaking of champ, there has to be a prize right?!
The winners from each challenge will get a FREE meal of their choice from HardBody Meals!
