Team Challenges:
In addition to Individual winners, there will be a Team Winner (except the Very Enthusiastic category). If you are in more than 1 class, you are on more than 1 team and anything you do will contribute to both teams.
- Every week, you will have your trainer initial your Tracker Sheet for your attendance in your weekly trainer class. This attendance sheet will be turned in at the end of the contest. For each class you attend, you will earn 3 points for your team. You may make up your class in another one of your trainer's classes for the workout (at their discretion), but you will not receive points for the makeup. Points will only be awarded for attendance to your assigned class. I will check these against the check-ins in the computer so make sure you always check-in through the computer when coming to the club!
- If a person has 3 or more missing weights you will no longer be part of the team (but may still participate in class). Missing weigh-ins means you did not weigh in during the week and did not have an excused vacation. Remember, if you have to miss class for any reason other than vacation, you must weigh in at some point during the week, either with your trainer, myself or a staff member and make sure it gets to me (either leave for me or get it to your trainer).
- Because teams are uneven numbers each team’s points are represented by a multiplier based on 8. So a team that has 8 people, 1 point = 1 point. For teams that have more or less than 8, a multiplier is used based on the amount of people over or under 10. For example, a team that has 7 people, 1 point = 1.14 so the total number of points on any given challenge is multiplied by this number (and then rounded). This makes it fair for all teams to earn the same amount of points regardless of how many people are on a team.
- One of the best ways you can be successful is to work together as a team. Support each other, create a Facebook page, find ways to workout together other than your weekly class, share ideas and struggles. You are all in this together and can make it a positive experience for yourself and everyone!
New Team Challenges Begin Week 3!
- Starting with Week 3 results and thereafter through Week 11 the TEAM with the highest overall % weight loss will get 14 points, 2nd place 13 points, 3rd place 12 points, etc. all the way down to 1 point. (If someone misses a weigh in for the week (without a vacation excuse) their initial weight will be used giving them a 0%. If they miss because of vacation and cannot report weight, the week previous weight will be used.
- Starting with Week 3 results and thereafter through Week 11, the Top 10 women and men will earn points for their team (1st place gets 10 points for their team, down to 1 point for 10th place).
- Pound Challenge
* Anyone who loses at least 2 pounds from the previous week will earn 2 points for their team.
- Starting in Week 5 (new point amounts)
* Anyone who loses at least 1 pound from the previous week will earn 2 points for their team.
* Anyone who loses at least 2 pounds from the previous week will earn 3 points for their team.
* 2 people from everyone who qualifies will randomly to drawn to win 5 additional points for their team.
Note: Your trainers will turn your weights in as usual so you don’t need to do anything extra for this.

Biggest Loser Meditation Challenge (due January 6th)
We are excited to bring you a new 6 Day Meditation Series through Zack’s YouTube channel called “10 Minute Daily Meds(itations)” to be completed by January 6th!

“Daily Ten Minute Meds” channel playlist link
You can complete this challenge in 6 straight days, by doing a couple a week or any combination that works for you. To protect your confidentiality, please email Zack a picture of your completed meditation journal (both pages please) by the due date of January 6th to receive 6 points for your team. Two random participants who complete the challenge will be selected to receive 6 bonus points for their teams.
Doing a daily meditation is one of the best ways to refocus and restore your heart, mind, body and soul. All you need is to committ 10 minutes of your time daily to be still, quiet and breathe. After coming out of a meditation you'll notice a few things about yourself and the world: the colors are more vibrant, the frantic pace of your life and society slows down and a peace and clarity washes over you.
It is recommended doing your meditation first thing in the morning when you wake up; before the day starts racing and your mind begins to fill with anxious thoughts. Take your first deep breath of the day, get out of bed and move yourself to a quiet place where you feel at home.
We encourage and challenge you to go on this 6 day journey and if you give yourself 10 minutes daily to fill your cup, you will see positive changes begin to take shape in your life!
Be still, breathe and let go!
Disclaimer: This meditation challenge is not intended to push forward any particular faith or religious beliefs as mindfulness is its own discipline, but can be incorporated by the participant if they so desire. All Biggest Loser Challenges as always are optional.
