FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Challenge Winner Gains More Than He Loses Aldergrove, BC - May 12th, 2014- Men and women of Aldergrove have been participating in a twelve week fitness challenge. Apocalypse Training and Fitness extended an invitation to the community to participate in Aldergroves Biggest Winner Challenge. The results are in and they are incredible! The idea behind this challenge is to encourage healthier lifestyles within the community. Challenge participants were supported throughout the process with bi-weekly seminars to check in and learn about health, fitness, and nutrition. With the help of Certified Sports Nutrition Advisor and Personal Trainer, Cindy Legare, the individuals made important changes to their lifestyle that led to some great achievements in the twelve weeks. The challenge winner, Kyle Featherstone, was recognized for a total of 19 pounds and 27.25 inches lost as well as a 3.6 percent reduction in body fat. Kyle attributes his success to his support network. Says Featherstone, They say it takes a village to raise a child. I believe the same has been true for me through this challenge. I have relied on so many other people in order to make this happen for myself: loving friends and family, knowledgeable and experienced professionlas at Apocalypse, and others who are going through the same process that I am. Carly Meadows, who placed 2nd overall in the challenge, says, I have learned a lot. This whole process has been a lot to take in. I really didnt know anything about nutrition aside from the basics. Carly was successful at losing 20.75 inches, 18 pounds and dropping her body fat percentage by 4.2%. Throughout the weeks, participants attended bi-weekly educational and accountability workshops. They covered an array of topics including healthy nutrition basics, supplements, exercise , goal setting, and much more. One workshop saw participants getting creative making personalized vision boards. Before their final measurements and photos, group members were asked to write a final essay outlining what they learned from this process, where they have come from and where they intend to go from here. Among the top spots also were Kari Collins in third place with 10.25 inches and 13 pounds lost and a 1.9% loss in body fat as well as Krys Meadows, Carlys Mom, who took the top spot for most body fat lost at 5.6 percent. I could not be more proud of this crew, says Legare. No stranger to changing lives, Cindy, along with the Apocalypse staff, offer ongoing opportunities to make changes towards a healthier lifestyle including bootcamp classes, personal training, Apocalypse classes, nutritional counselling, and more. Apocalypse Training and Fitness, located at #30-26157B 262 street offers event specific training methods and competition knowledge in addition to their regular classes and club memberships. There is a common sentiment that seems to be shared by all involved in this challenge, that it is a continual learning process with no end in sight. Featherstone sums up nicely what he, and so many others, take away from this challenge, The changes Ive made are real, and there is no end point - no goal weight, no time limit, no special shirt I need to fit into. I will continue to live this life of health and wellness because its what I really want for myself, and now I have the tools I need to be successful. Some signed up for this challenge to drop body fat, some to gain muscle mass, some to stay motivated, some for nutrition knowledge, some just to prove they could stick to something for 12 weeks. In the end, there were so many successes. The information, knowledge, and insights challenge members keep with them are invaluable. This is one fitness and health challenge where losses are far less important than the gains.
