In our 2nd ever 8 Week Fitness Challenge, thousands of 28ers entered and put themselves into the running to win a family holiday to Port Douglas.

Our challenge began in April 2019, just after Easter, a time where we traditionally overindulge in delicious chocolate treats. A post-Easter 8 week challenge was a great way for thousands of my 28ers to get their health and fitness back on track before winter arrived here in Australia.

Beyond the physical, there’s a lot of other kinds of positive transformations that come from doing a fitness challenge.

Announcing the challenge winners!

Choosing the winner and runners up was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make. My team and I spent hours going through all the amazing photos and stories, feeling so proud to have the best jobs in the world.

A big congrats to our Port Douglas holiday winner, Jacinta Weatherly!
