If you’re a beginner, Super Fitness trainers will create a beginner program to get you started and will progress as you become stronger and healthier. Past contestants will tell you that they lost more weight when they attended the weight loss challenge events. Plus, they have a lot of fun connecting and getting to know other like-minded contestants, trainers, and host. We support and encourage each other on SF Weight Loss Challenge Facebook page and encourage you to do the same thing.
WEIGH-INS- (FIRST MONDAY OF THE MONTH) Weigh-ins and workouts start in November. Contestants must weigh-in before the gyms close on the first Monday of each month. Any contestant that misses a mandatory event or weigh-in after Jan. 1, 2023, moves to the Wild Card bracket.
GROUP ACTIVITY:
GROUP EXERCISE CLASS (FIRST TUESDAY OF THE MONTH) Contestants are encouraged to participate in a Group Exercise Class at Super Fitness on the first Tuesday of the month.

Group Challenges are mandatory. We will allow one absence to be excused in the event you are ill, work obligation, vacation, or you cannot attend for another reason. If a contestant misses more than one challenge, they will be moved to the Wild Card bracket.
