HOW TO WIN

Complete all of the tasks for 28 days. There will be no points for this challenge, but rather, just like logging your food, you’ll be on the honor system.

Your team will get 3 get out of jail free [GOO(J)F] cards upon signing up for the Focus 28. These are to be used if you slip up and miss one of the tasks. Only workout once or twice in a week? Drop a GOO(J)F card in the jar at the front desk. Skip a day of mindfulness practice? Drop a card in the jar. Once you are out of cards, you better stick to the tasks or you can’t win the cash!

All the teams that successfully complete the challenge will have their team name dropped into a hat at the end of the 28 days. We will randomly select the winner from the hat.

BONUS: Perfect week = additional team entry into the pot.

If you have a perfect week, completing all the tasks, you earn your team an additional entry into the pot. More perfect weeks mean more chances to take home the prize money.

FAQ

• Does my partner need to be a member of the Gym on 5th?

• Yes. If you have someone in mind who is not currently a member this is a great chance to invite them to workout with you at the gym for these 28 days! If you partner with someone who is not a member of the gym and they don’t workout at the gym 3x a week, your team just can’t win the cash.

• Can I sign up and do the Focus 28 by myself?

  • No. If you need help finding a partner, let us know!

• Do I have to actually hit my macros or just track them?

  • No, the goal here is just to track your food, not hit your macros. If you do hit those numbers, great, but that is not the point.

• What do you mean by "food diary"?

  • Log everything you put into your body. Every single day for 28 days.

  • Example: 1/2 cup oatmeal, 2 tbsp. peanut butter, 1/2 banana, 2 cups coffee with 1 tbsp sugar

• Will I need to share my food diary with you?

  • No. There is no judgement as to what you are eating or how much, the idea is just to be completely honest with yourself so you can really take these 28 days to evaluate where you are and where you’d like to be with your own personal nutrition goals.

• I will be out of town for part of the Focus 28. Can I workout at another gym and have it count towards my 3x week?

  • Yes.

• What do you mean by doing something outside together with my partner? Is this in ADDITION to working out at the gym 3x week?

  • Instead of working out together at the gym you two could go for a hike together, a run, a bike ride, anything that gets your heart rate elevated outdoors.

  • In order to complete this task, here’s an example of what your week could look like:

    • Partner 1: Workout at the Gym on 5th Monday and Wednesday. Partner 2: Workout at the Gym on 5th Tuesday and Friday. On Saturday you two go for a hike together.
