What is the Ignite55 Lifestyle Challenge?
Our Ignite55 Lifestyle Challenge, is all about challenging yourself to improve different areas of your lifestyle, that you feel, there is room for change.
Your Set Your Own Challenge?
We all live very different lifestyles. Some areas of our lifestyle are good and healthy, and other areas are unhealthy.
Only You know the areas You need to improve. And that’s why, each person on Ignite55, has to set their own challenges for the 8 weeks, and then get to work achieving them.
Challenges can be anything from completing a certain number of workouts per week, walking a certain number of steps per day, cutting down or cutting out unhealthy foods or habits in your lifestyle, drinking more water or getting more sleep. It’s totally up to you. Don’t worry, we’ll give you loads of help when it comes to creating your own challenges.
The Ignite55 Wristband
As a reward for successfully completing Your Ignite55 Lifestyle Challenges, you’ll earn yourself one of our coveted ‘Black Wristbands’, as a token for your achievements, and a constant reminder of the determination and grit that you hold inside.

For The First Time
Group
Transformation Challenge
Yes, for our first Ignite55 Challenge in our new gym, we’re adding a whole new dimension now, to really help you get motivated and stay motivated!
How The Group Challenge Works!
First it starts by arranging a group of your friends or family. Groups must have at least 2 people, up to 6 people. A group can be mixed gender, and also mixed ages. Your group may be you and your friends, or it may be your family, you, your partner and some of your older kids, or even 2 families.
The group challenge will involve all group members getting a 3D Body Scan, using our new VISBODY scanner.
We’ll add up the Body Fat in lbs of everyone in your group, and also the Muscle Mass in lbs.
The group who collectively loses the most Body Fat in lbs while maintaining the most Muscle Mass in lbs will win the prize.
What We're Hoping To See!
Everyone, no matter who you are, struggles at some point in any transformation journey. There are times when we all need support. Support to help us get to the gym. Support to make better food choices. Support to keep going.

Deciding the Winners
Group Challenge – The winners of the group challenge will be decided by calculating the amount of body fat in lbs lost by the group, plus or minus the amount of muscle mass in lbs, and then divided by the number of people in the group.
Example 1: A group of 4 people lose 75 lbs of body fat and also lose 11 lbs of muscle. 75-11 = 64 lbs, divided by 4 people = 16 score.
Example 2: A group of 4 people lose 70 lbs of body fat and gain 2lbs of muscle. 70 + 2 = 72 lbs, divided by 4 people = 18 score.
The highest score wins.
Individual Challenge – The Individual Challenge winners will be chosen the same way it always is. The Maxx Trainers will shortlist all entries down to their top 10 Best Body Transformations.
All photo’s will have the heads cropped off to conceal identity.
Voting will take place in our app, where only those who took part in the Ignite55 Challenge may vote, and no one will know who votes for who.
