2011 Genesis Body Challenge

Genesis Fitness helps someone change their body and their life every day. Now it's your turn! The Genesis Body Challenge is a 12-week body transformation contest. Requiring contestants participate in at least one Genesis 5-week program, Genesis instructors will help you plan your fitness and eating routines and goals.
Judges will determine the most successful contestant through before and after photos and body measurements.

IMPORTANT PHOTOGRAPH REQUIREMENTS:

Contestants should wear the same type of clothing for both the “before” and “after” photos. Men must go shirtless and wear shorts or swimming trunks that fall above the knee; form fitting shorts are preferred. Women should wear shorts or bottoms that fall above the knee and a sports bra or bikini top; two-piece bathing suits are preferred. Progress is not easily proven when a participant has covered his/her body.
JUDGING:
Genesis Fitness will determine the winners based on those participants who have made the most radical total body transformation during the 12-week period (not simply weight loss). Contestants will be judged based on "before" and "after" body measurements as well as photographs. All decisions are final.
