"This challenge is exactly what I needed to get me motivated to change my life. I've surpassed all my goals. I lost over 19 lbs and met my body fat % goal. I'm so much happier as I haven’t had a drink of alcohol since the challenge began. I look forward to my daily wod and have developed habits that have transformed me mentally and physically. daily I tracked my nutrition, exercise, stretch, and meditate. I checked in everyday on the app, and with family and friends. This was my initiation into the Crossfit world and I love it."
Back - Before & After
"I have so much more energy to be active with my kids and family. We go on hikes now and I'm leading the way instead of falling behind. I have many new goals too. Iwant to slim down a little more, and I want to do one fun race a month and compete in a Crossfit challenge, do a spartan race, and a tough mudder. So many opportunities are there for the taking and I'm well on my way. This Challenge hasn't just impacted me, but my family as well."
Front - Before & After
"I’m pumped to report that during the 8 week challenge, my body fat dropped by almost 2% and I dropped below 150lbs. for the first time in years! I also built solid habits around my nutrition. Now I log everything I consume on a daily basis. Stretching daily has become part of my morning routine now and I kept my goal to exercise by doing 30 mins of exercise daily. Meditation is now part of my daily bedtime routine and that’s been a game changer in my anxiety levels."
Back - Before & After
"My motivation for this challenge stemmed from an unfortunate car accident 4 years ago where I wound up with a brain injury, a nasty neck injury and painful nerve damage. I gained a lot of weight after the accident and I haven't been able to stick to a healthy fitness routine without getting re-injured, but I was committed to doing so during this challenge and I did it! I was truly all in, with a whatever-it-takes attitude and I'm really proud of my results. this is just the beginning, i’m just getting started!"

Side - Before & After
"The RP Diet App was a staple in helping me hit my weight goal. It helped ensure I was acoountable and pushed me."
Arnela Korjenic
Front - Before & After
"I accomplished my goals by meal prepping every three days and making sure I was eating 90% whole foods. I worked out 6x a week. You can workout as hard as you want but if you don't eat right, nothing will change."
Back - Before & After
"This has by far been hands down my best RP cut in the books. Some of my measurable goals I reached were consuming my gallon of water every single day. My motivation for this challenge was not letting my boyfriend and roommates down, whom I had talked into doing this challenge with me. At week four, I printed old pictures of all of us, how we used to look like, and what the goal was. That way we never lost track of why we started. I wanted to lead by example, and not let my household down."

Front - Before & After
"I had goals across all 5 of the focus points and I admit I struggled with some and did well in others. I did well in the opening weeks with nutrition. I felt like I was accountable to someone other than myself. I fell off a bit after 4 weeks, but this challenge may be over but it showed me how much I can achieve in such a short time when I really focus. Years of standard reps/sets of heavy lifts have left me quite tight in many areas. ROMWOD has been a huge help in that area, it also tied in nicely with my mindfulness as taking 20-50 minutes out of my day to slow down, focus on breathing and center myself became natural and second nature to me."
Jessica Johnson
Front - Before & After
"This challenge was about being consistent with my nutrition with RP, working out four days a week and just taking better care of myself. My motivation for this challenge was my best friend's wedding! I felt great in my dress and confident. I really feel like I accomplished my goals with my body composition results. I ended up weighing in right around 67 kg. I’ve lost about 3 kg since we started this challenge."
Back - Before & After
"I haven't accomplished my goals just yet but that's ok. I'll celebrate little victories along the way but if my goals are always just a little out of reach, then I have something to aim at. I'm not where I want to be physically, but I'm taking the After pics as an acknowledgement to you and to myself that this challenge may be over but i'm not done. so for you they are my 'after' pics, for me they are my 'before 2.0' pics."
Back - Before & After
"We just had the second anniversary of the paradise campfire weekend. After surviving that fire, I gained almost 50 pounds. I lost about 30 of them prior to this challenge by being consistent with my workouts and using RP. This challenge has been great for consistency and motivation. I love the FaceBook page and everybody’s posts, it was super inspiring and a great way to connect."
Darryl Jay
Front - Before & After
"Everyday I woke up with one thing on my mind.....win. I had some memorable days that I'm proud of and I know that without this challenge I would have regressed to the old me. I am honestly in the best shape of my life. I love seeing everyone on the FB group chat to see the positive vibes people are having because that's what it's all about."
Side - Before & After
"In the end I can honestly say I have met my goals, from sleep to fitness and nutrition."
Sandra Paonessa
Front - Before & After
"I lost 25 pounds. I haven't had sugar for over 160 days. I was so addicted to sugar. Going that long proves that I can do anything I put my mind and intentions to. I worked out 5-6 days a week. I started with the RP app then went to 1:1 with a RP coach, which was the best thing I could ever do. Seeing my progress and feeling better has motivated me to just keep going and stick to my plan. I wanted to lose at least 25 pounds and I did. I stuck to my nutrition plan. I never went off course. I stuck to my training routine as well.
Back - Before & After
"I feel so much better and stronger, not only physically but mentally too. I'm not where i want to be, but I'm on the right course to get to where I want to be. and I will not be going off that course. I still have lots to go but it's a good start."
Arnold Robinson
Front - Before & After
"I accomplished everything I set out to do. I did not drink the entire time and did not cheat on my diet one time. I ate 100% perfectly the entire 8 weeks. I found a combination of macros that worked for me the first week and I still had enough energy to work out twice a day 6+ days a week and work a full time job and run two small companies. My first two weeks were miserable but my body adjusted and I felt mostly good throughout the challenge. there were rough times occasionally but overall I felt just fine. I lost 34 pounds. The weight came off consistently."
Back - Before & After
"The number one way that I know this was a success is that I am not burnt out from my diet. I had a few recovery days but I missed my challenge diet and I am now back on it. I liked the way I felt when I was eating right. I plan to be 215 by February at the latest and I have no doubts I will get there."
Mandi Blenn
Front - Before & After
"My motivation for the challenge was to gain a grasp of what performance milestones I could achieve in 8 weeks with a focused effort on the building blocks of physiological adaptation. Over the course of the 8 weeks, I PR’d many of my gymnastics movements and lifts. I was able to maintain performance consistently on the upper end of my lift numbers. My motivation was pretty consistent throughout the course of the 8 weeks until the last week where there was a dramatic shift in my daily routine with additional restrictions put in place for COVID containment. My goal then shifted to managing through the changes - outside of a plummeting training volume score without access to my usual equipment, the rest of my metrics remained in line."
Back - Before & After
"I maintained a daily journal that I aggregated weekly to compile my score trends. This allowed me to capture the wins, opportunities, and reflections on the day and be able to look back and learn from them later. Additionally, I developed a few new habits along the way of going on a walk in the morning before work, having a solid deadline to 'clock out' and take a break in the evenings to focus on exercising and my own mental health, and establishing a more consistent sleep hygiene routine to optimize recovery."
