How to enter
- Sign up and submit your challenger assessment on this site by Friday, October 23.
- Pay the $30 challenge fee. Your meal plan is included.
- Sign the waiver on the last page of these rules — it's part of the sign-up form here.
- Upload or email your starting check-in photos on Monday, October 26.
Late entries are not accepted after Friday, October 23.
Social posting
Every week, post 2 reels and 2 story posts of your workouts. Tag all three handles in every post:
@soundcheckfitness @stickshiftfitness @dathetrainer
Screenshot each post and email the screenshots to fallremixchallenge1@gmail.com. Stories disappear after 24 hours, so screenshot them the same day you post.
Monday check-ins
Check-ins happen every Monday: October 26, November 2, 9 and 16, with a final check-in on November 23. You take the photos yourself and upload them here (or email them in).
- Take your photos in the morning, right after you wake up and before your first meal.
- Use a mirror and take three photos: front, side and back. In one of the three photos, hold a white piece of paper with that day's date written on it.
- Wear the same clothes in every check-in.
- Upload or email the photos the same day.
Scoring and judging
The winner is chosen by a 100-point score, so it's about overall transformation, not just the scale.
| Points | Category | How it's measured |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | Visual transformation | Starting vs. final check-in photos, scored by a panel of 3 judges |
| 50 | Consistency | Workouts logged in the app, weekly posts and Monday check-ins sent on time |
Weekly minimum to stay eligible:
- 3 workouts logged in the app
- 2 reels and 2 story posts with all three tags
- Your Monday check-in photos
Missing any of these in a week means disqualification. Tiebreaker: the higher consistency score wins.
Weekly mini-challenges
Each week has a bonus challenge. Everyone who completes it is entered in a drawing for a surprise gift card, so it doesn't matter how many people finish. Mini-challenges don't affect the main score.
| Week | Dates | Mini-challenge |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Oct 25 – 31 | Opening Act: log 4 workouts in the app |
| 2 | Nov 1 – 7 | Step It Up: hit 8,000 steps on 5 days (email step screenshots) |
| 3 | Nov 8 – 14 | Meal Prep Remix: post a meal prep reel from your meal plan, tagging all three handles |
| 4 | Nov 15 – 20 | Fear No Rep: work out 5 days in a row during the final week |
