Ready to stay fit and focused through the holidays? Join the FFC Holiday InBody Challenge and set yourself up for a stronger, healthier season! 🎄

What’s the Holiday InBody Challenge?

The Holiday InBody Challenge is designed to help you stay accountable, motivated, and progressing towards your fitness goals this holiday season. In addition to checking in to a club 8 times during the challenge dates, you’ll also be required to complete a minimum of 2 InBody Assessments and achieve a positive increase in your InBody Score. An InBody Assessment is a body composition analysis that measures a variety of health metrics beyond just weight, including muscle mass, body fat percentage, basal metabolic rate and more giving you a comprehensive view of your health in just 30 seconds. Each InBody assessment results in an InBody Score which is a numerical value that represents your lean body mass based on your height and weight, compared to healthy averages.

Challenge Dates

Start Date: December 2, 2024
End Date: January 5, 2025

How It Works

1. Opt-In – To confirm participation, visit the ‘My Dash’ screen on the FFC+ app and select ‘JOIN NOW’ on the pop up banner that asks if you’d like to participate. Please note, you must opt-in between 12/02-12/08.

2. Visit The Club – Check in to the club a minimum of 8 times during the challenge dates.*

3. Complete Your First InBody Assessment – Visit any FFC location to complete an InBody assessment. When taking the test, please type in your FFC Account Number on the InBody machine (where it says Input ID) followed by your Phone Number to connect your account (see screenshots below). Your InBody score following your first InBody assessment is your starting point for the challenge (please note: you make take the InBody assessment as many time as you’d like throughout the challenge dates. Your InBody score change will be calculated based off your first and last assessments of the month).

4. Stay Motivated – Receive tips, workout suggestions, and nutrition support from FFC experts.

5. Complete Your End-of-Challenge Assessment – Prior to the end of the challenge, complete a final InBody assessment and achieve a positive increase in your InBody score.

6. Track Your Progress – Keep tabs on your progress in the “My Dash” section of the FFC+ app. Once you’ve completed a component of the challenge, the metric will turn Green on the dashboard. If you completed two InBody assessments and did not receive a positive increase in your InBody score, the metric will turn Red, signifying you have not successfully completed this component and will need to retest until you see a positive increase to qualify.

7. Celebrate Your Results! – Once you’ve completed both components of the challenge, a button will appear at the top of the Dashboard that says “Complete Challenge”. Click this to submit your results and get entered into the raffle!

What’s The Prize?

All participants that ‘opt-in’ to the challenge, check in to the club a minimum of 8 times, and successfully complete a minimum of 2 InBody assessments achieving a positive increase in their InBody score will be entered into a raffle to win a pair of lower level tickets to a Chicago Bulls game in January!
