FLEXDEM TV: Tapp Bros ‘Get Fit Challenge’

admin — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 21:11:09 +0000

From Feb 22nd to March 23rd 2012 the Tapp Brothers set about staging an online ‘Get Fit Challenge’ in the hope of getting a few hundred people to sign up and take part, but very quickly they were swamped by a total of 2,300 people who got involved.

The intention was for participants to submit a before pic and over the month which followed, they’d be given a fitness evaluation, be advised on nutrition and exercise drills and from there, they’d go off to apply everything into their routines in the hope of transforming their bodies. At the end of that month they’d need to provide an after pic to show their progress and all would be judged to find the top 3. All the while a specific invite only Facebook page was running and everyone was encouraged to help with sharing tips, videos and general advice. The value of any help provided by the members would also be taken into account when the judging took place.

From the moment the challenge started, it became very clear that ‘winning’ wasn’t the central focus. Instead, what happened organically, was that a very friendly community clicked into place where any progress that was made by anyone, was shared and celebrated in a very encouraging way.

This documentary goes some way to showing that with exercise, a well balanced diet, guidance and plenty of encouragement, it is possible to get out of any rut you may be stuck in and that changes for the better can definitely be made.
