Craig’s overall total percentage weight loss was 5.64%! Craig is a testament to the slow and steady approach, focusing on form first and finding balance between work, gym and the surf.
Ange was incredibly consistent, training 5 days per week and never missed a session. She was always positive, even when we encouraged her to up the weights!
Izzy dived head-first into this challenge and consistently smashed her goals, attending nearly every Activ8 group class on top of training in her own time, and motivating those around her!
Hannah built simple, sustainable habits she could show up for every day. She shared that the workbook became her daily anchor, helping her stay connected to her goals and habits.
Gemma had a can-do positivity and unwavering commitment to her training, steps and nutrition, achieving a total 9.4kg weight loss in 8 weeks!
Tony smashed out the full 5 workouts per week for 8 weeks, often throwing in an extra workout here and there. He almost doubled some of his fitness testing scores!
Christine excelled with 5 classes per week for the duration of the challenge. She lost a total of 24.1cm and also dropped 3% body fat!
Jonathan saw great results through the challenge by gaining muscle and losing body fat, but also showing up and showing out to every class he attended!

Everyone! Whether you’re new to exercise, getting back into fitness or already training regularly, the challenge can be adapted to suit your fitness level.
Not at all. The challenge is designed to meet you where you’re at, with workouts that can be modified for different fitness levels.
Yes, you must be a Gym+Fitness member to sign up to the Activ8 8 Week Challenge.
To become a member, contact your local club, or sign up via MyPCYC (a free MyPCYC account is required).
The program is designed to help you build consistency rather than overwhelm you. While there are 5 exercise days and 2 rest days, you can modify this during your 1:1 check-in with a qualified trainer, to suit your needs and lifestyle.
No. The challenge isn’t about restrictive diets or cutting out entire food groups. You’ll receive meal plans, recipes and guidance to help you make sustainable choices that fit into everyday life.
The workouts in the Activ8 8 Week Challenge are primarily machine-based, so you’ll need access to a gym with the required equipment, such as a PCYC Gym+Fitness club. However, you’re welcome to complete the workouts at another gym if you have access to the equipment. You’ll just need an active PCYC Gym+Fitness membership to participate in the challenge.
There are also optional cardio workouts that can be completed at home if you have the appropriate equipment, such as dumbbells or a yoga mat.
The goal is to build habits that stick, so it’s completely okay to take a break when life happens. If you’re sick or away on holiday, take the time you need and pick things back up when you’re ready.
When you start to have a consistent routine, it is much easier to pick things back up after a break.
The fitness journal is your one stop shop for tracking! In there, you will track your fitness measurements and testing for before and after the challenge, your habit tracking each day, and your reps and weight for every single workout. This will allow you to see your improvement over the 8 weeks.
Absolutely! If you sign up later, you will still receive 8 weeks of resources.
