Open-Ended Response
The 20 week challenge is a competition which promotes a sustainable change in one’s lifestyle. 12 week challenges are a thing of the past since the invention of Catch Fitness 20 week competition.
I’ve written one so please feel free to use that.
20 weeks commitment for 20 years of a healthy lifestyle
It certainly gives a focus to the year and your work.  My weeks are very structured around the challenge and although it is an arduous schedule it is working for me and my family
I love the 20 Weeks format – it has proven itself successful over and over
I’ve entered clients in the past 2 competitions and will continue to do so as they’ve been so valuable to both my clients and myself.  The support given by Catch Fitness to trainers is awesome, and it’s so exciting to be a part of something that’s getting bigger and better every year.

The 20 Weeks Competition is an amazing product to help structure your business and formalise training for clients.  It allows individuals to make significant changes that will impact on them for the rest of their lives!
the 20 week competition helped my business grow from being a new trainer working alone in a gym to a healthy recognized trainer who owns his own studio. after the first competition i was very busy and within six months i was able to purchase plenty of equipment to start my own private studio. I now have a fully equipped studio within a large gym and i am able to offer a larger range of services to the clients which has furthermore improved my client base. I have 12 clients in this competition and they all come to me asking about the challenge and all of them are still going strong thanks to the benefits of being involved with the 20 week competition. I had 11 clients in my first competition which got my business started and three in my second which propelled my business with a good name and then 3 clients who have already done the competition and 8 new clients asked for my guidance to help them improve their lifestyles with the benefits of the 20 week competition. I already have 4 new clients who have come to me asking to join the next competition. very grateful
The 20 Week Body and Lifestyle Competition is a great introduction to learning about and living a healthy lifestyle.  It does not just rely on a short term fix it is focused and allows the clients to explore what works best for them in a supported environment.  You don’t have to have athletic aspirations, just want to get the most out of your life and understanding that exercise needs to be part of your daily life but it does not have to be a ‘chore’
The 20 week body and lifestyle challenge is a very much that, it allows the entrant a chance to make positive and obvious fitness and body shape changes but importantly have enough time to really ‘get why this has to continue to happen in the future’ it is about a real ‘mindset change’. It allows trainers to drive their client to being accountable to their future wellness to achieve a health improvements of both their body and mind.
Great way to support clients to live in the real world.  The joy of seeing clients changes is worth it’s weight in gold.
It is a awesome competition, the newsletters are fantastic tool, full of encouraging information. The awards night at the end is a great motivator.
It is great to see the  new and positive changes of  each client week by week both physically and mentally.
Sorry, its too early in the morning for me to be useful here
As mentioned above – as a new PT I find the structure and support of the comp to be invaluable in establishing good business practises.
