Before I tell you who the winner is, I want to tell you about our awards ceremony that took place 2 weeks ago (been too busy to write about it until now, sorry). It was an awesome event. We had bootcamp, small group training and one on one training clients as well as friends and family. The awards ceremony was to celebrate the past year and our first year at our new location as well as to celebrate the winners of our 8 week Body Balance Challenge. We celebrated with a healthy chili cook off competition and awards ceremony.
The awards ceremony for the Body Balance Challenge was not only fun but the suspense was killing all involved, so we had to get to it as everyone in the crowd was losing fingernails in anticipation. For those of you who have not heard of our Body Balance Challenge it is amazing! There are prizes awarded at the end for the participants with the most dramatic body transformation and life changes. Every time we have this competition we are amazed at the results our clients see in just 8 weeks. This time was no different.
The 4th place prize which was a gift basket including coffee and other goodies from A Hill of Beans went to Shawn Macken who lost 14.2 total pounds and 13 ¼” and 6% of his body weight!
Next up, the 3rd place winner who won a $100 gift certificate to Statement Boutique (which she will need after all of the weight and inches lost!) was Joey Macken. She lost 17.5 total pounds and 14 ¾” and 11% of her total body weight!
The runner up received a massage a month for six months. This gentleman worked very hard, was dedicated to bootcamp, and was meticulous with his food journal. He was always fine tuning and making small improvements. Brian Radermacher earned every one of those massages which he will need after how hard he worked. Brian lost 25lbs, 17.25 total inches and a total of 13% of his body weight!
And of course THE BIG WINNER! Drum roll please………. With a total weight loss of 22 pounds and an amazing 18 ¾” lost, Debbie absolutely worked her butt off. She became the self proclaimed “Debbie no fun”. She did everything that we ask everyone to do in route to losing 14% of her total body weight in just 8 weeks. She kept a meticulous food journal, avoided the wine, and kept her cheats under control. All of us here at DeVetter Fitness are very proud of her. For all of this hard work and dedication Debbie earned herself a cool $700 cash!!!!
Other prizes were given away, because after all, this was client appreciation day. Best dressed went to Kristen Geissenger. Best jokes went to Phyllis Bishoff. Hardest worker went to Dave Welte. Most entertaining client went to Karen Gensler. Old Faithful went to Tom Berg (have to admit this could have been a better name). Kate Bertholf won most excited about bootcamp. And Tonya Lewis won softest hands.
Finally we have a new tradition at DeVetter Fitness in honor of our one year anniversary at our location. We gave an award to our client of the year. This is on top of our client of the month awards. This award was given to someone who was very dedicated, who worked so hard every time that she was here. Not only did she push herself, she also pushed everyone in class just by being herself. She was so much fun to have in class because of the standards she held. The winner of this is Shelley Lessig. Shelley has lost over 41 pounds while at DeVetter Fitness. We have had people lose more weight, but her consistency over time coming to class and eating healthy embodies our philosophy at DeVetter Fitness. She received three months of free bootcamp! Congratulations to Shelley and all of our clients.
