Breakthrough Transformation Challenge Winners!

We are so proud of all of our challengers, finalists, and of course our winners.  We had two categories- local (trained with us right here in the studio) and online (those who couldn't get to regular weekly sessions due to schedule or geography).  Here are the winners!

These results were accomplished with only NINE WEEKS of hard work.  Way to go ladies!

LOCAL WINNER

Renina Simmons





Renina Simmons is our local winner for the Breakthrough Transformation Challenge. She hails from right here in the DFW area, and has earned her triumph for this challenge in that her before and after pics are amazing! She looks like a totally different person, And I love the huge smile in her final pics! She knew she was looking good!

All who know Renina in sessions know her as "Lil' Beyonce" because she likes to bust out in song and dance in the middle of a workout! She has embraced the spirit of Fit Club in it's entirety. She does her off-day workouts with enthusiasm, follows her nutrition plan, encourages others outside of Fit Club to be their fittest selves and overall just has a great attitude focus in accomplishing her goals. 


ONLINE WINNER
Kara Morris


Kara Morris, our fireball from the icy north, is the clear online winner for the Breakthrough Transformation Challenge. Her transformation pictures throughout the challenge were shocking, and even though she never once stepped foot in the Fit Club studio, she embraced the burn all the way from Wisconsin! Ms. Elizabeth (our office manager) was so impressed with Kara's consistent progress with each and every challenge check-in. She even told Coach Concita (as she sat editing pictures)- "look her side profile pictures are LITERALLY getting smaller".  Kara dropped MULTIPLE dress sizes during this challenge.

Our Fit Club members and challengers have surely seen Kara's posts on the Facebook groups, where she was an active poster. She is known in the Fit Club office for eagerly following the Fit Club nutrition and exercise program, and keeping us on our toes by asking for more from her workouts! She also did the FIRST EVER Skype session with Concita because she was eager to know she was doing everything right and really pushing herself, and she did an awesome job! Can't wait to see more from her in the future! Let's go, Kara! 

Both of these ladies have earned a cash prize.  Keep your eye on our blog for their upcoming interviews where they will share their best motivation, nutrition, and workout tips with YOU!

*Special note from Dustie: 
Today I challenged everyone to step up their game and intensity on rounds 2-4 by either increasing their weights or their speed. Everyone stepped up to the challenge...they've been holding out on me!!!! They were also extremely breathless halfway through Stick in the mud. So I asked how many of them are doing their off day conditioning...no ones hand went up. So I also suggested that their goal this week be two days of off day conditioning and I gave them examples.

5:20 AM Coppell Training Group*
