Palmview residents have a compelling new reason to get out and enjoy the Sunshine Coast weather following the launch this week of a new six-week Fitness Transformation Challenge in Harmony by AVID Property Group (AVID) – offering the ultimate healthy lifestyle reboot.
The “new year, new me” fitness frenzy has motivated a large group of Harmony residents to sign up for the challenge hosted by local training business, Full Body Fitness.
In addition to achieving their health and fitness goals, participants also have the chance to win more than $800 in cash prizes.
Fitness enthusiast and co-owner of Full Body Fitness Julie Dunford said the start of a new year was the perfect time to make a lifestyle change and develop healthy new habits.
“We designed the challenge to foster growth, camaraderie, accountability, and support – and to be a rewarding and great experience for like-minded people,” Ms Dunford said.
“My passion for creating a positive change in people’s lives fuelled my decision to launch the Full Body Fitness program seven years ago and ever since I’ve enjoyed watching members accomplish their goals and celebrate success together as a group,” she said.
“Over the coming weeks, we have planned a variety of fun and energetic full body workouts as well as weekly ‘check ins’ – it’s the best way to keep our clients motivated and engaged.”
AVID General Manager Queensland Bruce Harper said the fitness challenge was a great way for Harmony residents to get to know each other while boosting their social and physical wellbeing as a community.
“Full Body Fitness has been running regular weekly fitness classes in the community for the past year, earning them a loyal following of Harmony residents.
“We hope the challenge will encourage even more residents to get outdoors and take advantage of this award-winning community’s beautiful parklands.
“I anticipate residents will not only adopt healthier habits as a result of the challenge but will also form new social connections and friendships with their neighbours, whether they live just down the road or several streets away,” he said.
“Harmony’s vision of fostering a welcoming neighbourhood culture is underpinned by social events like this challenge as well as Harmony’s regular games night, its signature Long Table Dinner and the annual Christmas Lights competition.”
The six-week Transformation Challenge will culminate in a celebration and awards night where the winners will be announced. Winners will be determined by their weight loss results and attendance at training. First prize is $500, second prize $250 and third prize $100.
The challenge is only open to Harmony residents. It includes three bootcamp sessions each week, dietitian-approved recipes, training merchandise, body composition scans and online results tracking.
