We had a lot of great results with this Fit Challenge! We have done so many of these through out the years and the results just keep getting better and better. And one thing that is so cool to see, is those that do well, continue to keep the weight off and improve little by little each challenge. So I want to start by congratulating those of you that have had great results in the past and still improved this challenge! Thank you all for being a part of SCCF. The winners of the challenge are below.
Our 3rd place guy was Travis G! He lost an inch off of his waist and 3% body fat. And he gained 6.8lbs of muscle in 5 weeks! Travis goals were to gain strength and he was able to put on muscle and get stronger. His front squat went from 265 to 275 and he still got 17 seconds faster on his mile! Travis has been putting in a lot of extra work with our comp training program and it really shows!
The 3rd place girl was Candace P! She lost 1 inch off her waist and 4lbs. She also gained 2lbs of muscle and lost 4.8% body fat! She lost 44 seconds off her mile and her handstand pushups went from 13 to 19! Candace had her 3rd baby just 6 months ago. She stuck with CrossFit through out her pregnancy and it is amazing how fast she was able to get back to where she was before. She is a great example for all the soon to be moms out there.
The 2nd place for the men goes to Jimmy M! He lost 5lbs, 4.1% body fat, and gained 3.6lbs of muscle in 5 weeks! Jimmy just started the 101 class as the challenge began and he was able to improve on every single workout. His mobility, range of motion, and strength has improved a ton. CrossFit is the first workout program that Jimmy has ever done, and he is doing great. He was a little intimidated at first to start CrossFit, but seeing how awesome the whole community at SCCF has made it easy for him to stick with it.
And the runner up for the ladies was Jennifer R. She lost 8lbs, 6.7% body fat, and gained 2lbs of muscle! At the beginning of the challenge she could only run 1200m in 9:03, and at the end she ran the full mile in 8:06! She gained 10lbs on her front squat and got her first handstand pushups with no abmat! She improved on every single workout. Jennifer has only been a member for a few months. She didn’t know much about nutrition at first, so we made her a meal template and met up every week to go over her food logs. After a few weeks she got the hang of it and now she has amazing, healthy, sustainable results!
Our first place man was Todd Akes! He was super strict with the zone diet and didn’t even have one cheat meal! His waist went from 35″ to 32″. He lost 12. 3 pounds. And he went from 15.2% down to 9.2% body fat without losing any muscle in 5 weeks! His mile time went from 6:40 to 6:05. Front squat went from 225 to 245. And he knocked minutes off of every workout. He also got his first bar muscle up during this time. Todd’s results really show how much is possible if you stick to the macros 100% of the time!
And the overall winner for the ladies is Sara S! She lost 2 inches off her waist and 11lbs! Sara lost an incredible 8.3% body fat and she gained 3lbs of muscle! Her mile run went from 8:51 to 7:30 and her heavy squat clean grace went from 6:06 to 4:47. Her strict handstand pushups improved from 17 to 23! Changing her diet was very difficult for her at first. But we met every week and went over her food log to keep her accountable. And after a couple weeks she started to feel a lot better in her workouts and through out the day. Sara had been crossfitting for 6 years, but never got the results she wanted. Now that she has locked in her nutrition, which is the foundation of CrossFit, she will continue improving her overall health in every way!
