First Bonus Challenge on the

“First Bonus Round Challenge!

 

We’re into our second week of the 12 Week Challenge and Ares is in the lead by only by a few points. Well done to all teams for a great start and commendations on the many planning and training sessions done already across all teams

 

This week we’ve got a Bonus Challenge where each team can earn up to 100 extra points for their team!

 

Just get 5 people from your team to ‘like’ the Genesis Fitness Remuera Facebook page as well as write the answer to this question in the ‘comment’ section on the page. It’s 20 points per person that likes and comments, although only a maximum of 5 people per team can earn the 20 points each.

The riddle is this...

 

·         What does the abbreviation ‘MHR’ stand for in relation to exercise?

 

Please put your answer in the status bar on the Genesis Fitness Remuera page, along with the team name and we can go from there.

We’ll collate the points and post on Monday along with joker points.

 

 

This must be done by 5pm Sunday.

 

If you are not on facebook, you just need to find someone who is

 

Okey Dokey??

 

 

 

 

Happy updating guys

WE'RE STILL WARMING UP.....BUT LOOK OUT NEXT WEEK!

 

Holy hang team – we definitely need that strategy meeting next week having just looked at the points board!! It’s only a tiny gap at this stage but we don’t want to be at the rear end of the field and we sure as heck don’t want that gap to increase any more. For those that haven’t seen the points yet Brendan’s team is winning on 145, the bottom team is on 130 and we are on 131. 14 points at this stage is nothing so long as don’t keep dropping behind.

 

How about a drink on Wednesday night at the Villager (unless someone has another suggestion) between 7 – 7.30pm? I’ve spoken to a few people and that night seems to work for most. If people get back to me with the dates they are going to be away I’ll try and plot it into some sort of chart so that we can have an idea of when we have to be really vigilant about gym visits.

 

Just to clarify the joker week and maximising the group fitness points for the month:

-          You must attend 3 different classes this week if you’re going to play the joker card

-          You must attend 7 group fitness classes in total for the month

-          They have to be 5 different group fitness classes in the month if you’re using the joker card

-          If you can’t make use of the joker week this week then you should be aiming for 7 different classes this month

So………for example, this week I’m doing pilates, yoga, and spin and sometime before the end of the 4 weeks I will do MC2 twice and Active Fit twice equalling a total of 7 group fitness classes but requiring me to only do 5 different ones.

It does take a bit of forward planning with the old diary to make sure that you are ticking all the right boxes.

What we need to keep in mind is that if everyone gains maximum points it’s 400 points!!!

 

By now you’ve probably guessed that I have a slightly competitive edge and far too much time on my hands at the moment!! Anyway, I hope that everyone is plugging away merrily and eating well.

 

Have a great week and work hard. Catch up next week.

Re: 1 WEEK DOWN, 10 TO GO - LET'S MAKE THEM COUNT!

Love to meet for iced water!  What blog, I'll have to look it up?  We have to work our tails off, I'm going to Fiji for a week July 9 - 16 so I'm out for that week.  If anyone is going to be away over the next few weeks, let us know. 

 

Gym on a Saturday morning is a BITCH.  No parking, nada, zilch, zero.  About 200 cars all jostling for the same spot. If you're planning on Sat morning classes (early) like the 10am yoga I tried for, either park in Remuera and walk down, or plan for later in the day.  Very frustrating.

Hi all

 

I've just perused the other teams blogs and ours is looking a little dull – not to mention the fact that some of them look very organised and competitive!!

 

I will get the camera out this week and if anyone else has the opportunity to snap team members in action, go to it.

 

Are people interested in a strategy session one evening during the week of 4^th – 8^th of July. Maybe a wee iced water at The Villager one night??? Let me know what night would suit. We could make sure that everyone is on target for maximum points for the month and see if anyone is struggling with any aspects of the challenge.

 

Take care and go hard this week

WEDNESDAY MORNING CHALLENGE!

Hi all

 

Rick is running a boot camp style training session on Wednesday mornings at 5.45am for $5 a head.

 

This is not exclusively for Athena members and we thought it might be a bit of fun (yeah rite!) to throw it open to other teams and perhaps even partake in a little healthy competition. Trainers are also welcome!

 

Let’s get this challenge cranking!!!!

Welcome to 2011 Evolution Challenge

Welcome everyone!!!

 

Well here we go again and I would like to take this chance to welcome back all the folk who were part of the challenge last year, and also give props to those of you who are trying it out for the first time, I’m sure that you won’t be disappointed.

We had a great meeting last night and i would like to help over the next few weeks answer any questions that you think you might have. Remember that you can contact you’re trainer for assistance and where they cant help, feel free to ask me directly or email info@genesisfitness.co.nz

 

So just to go over last night the rules and conditions i have attached them below

 

 

evolution 2011

12 week assisted lifestyle programme

 

Points for your team can be occurred by:

3 visits to the gym in a week = 10 points

4 visits to the gym in a week = 15 points

4 different Group Fitness classes in four weeks = 20 points

7 different Group Fitness classes in four weeks = 30 points

The points for attendance to Group Fitness classes are tallied over four week periods.

You must bring your swipe tag and swipe at reception for your visit to count. If you do not have your tag then inform staff at reception who can put you through.

Group Fitness classes must be booked and your name must be written on the class sign in sheet to earn the points.

 

We will also be playing what we have called the ‘Joker Card’.

To make it easier for those who are prepared to do some hard work every now and then, we have a sneaky bonus to try for.

During the first week of every four week period, if you’re able to get to three different Group Fitness classes in that one week, then for the remaining three weeks you can choose two of your favourite Group Fitness classes, and participate in those twice to the total of 7 Group Fitness classes for the four weeks.

The four week periods for the Group Fitness points to be earned are as follows:

Monday 20th June to Sunday 17th July (Joker Card week Monday 27/06 to Sunday 3/7)

Monday 18th July - Sunday 14th August (Joker Card week Monday 18/07 to Sunday 24/07)

Monday 15th August - Friday 2nd September (Joker Card week 15/08 to 21/08)

**Last installment will only be 3 weeks

These don't include the points we award for weight loss and muscle gain, which is measured by Discover Health at the beginning and end of the competition. Discover Health do the official weigh in, including BIA test at the start to correctly measure the body fat percentage and muscles mass. The BIA testing sessions are as follows: Tuesday 21st 3pm - 7pm, Wednesday 22nd 10am - 12pm and Thursday 23rd 3pm - 7pm. If you have not booked for a BIA test yet please do so at reception.

Every two weeks we will have ‘Bonus’ challenges where you can earn extra points for your team. Your team captains will inform you of upcoming bonus challenges.

Each Evolution participant has 2 x 1 week dispensation. If you’re away due to illness, work, holidays or injury, we have a system where the average points of your team mates will also be given to you.

 

Now if this doesn’t clarify some things for you then please ask your team captains, or contact us at the gym.

Remember to please

 

·         Confirm your shirt sizes to your team captains

·         Please pay your $99 entry fee

·         Book in for your BIA if you haven’t already

 

Ok... now get busy
