With the temperature warming up, we thought it would be fun to do a little in house competition before summer rolls around. Introducing the EDCF Spring Body Composition Challenge. Unlike the past diet and exercise competitions we have put on with their endless points and spreadsheets, we have decided to make this one a little easier on everyone.
The competition starts on Monday, March 17th and will run for 8-9 weeks. There are just two main parts to the competition with prizes for each! There will be a pre and post-test for body composition via a mobile hydrostatic body fat testing clinic located at the gym. So what will the test exactly tell you?
- Your fat and fat-free body mass, as percentages and in actual weight
- How much fat, if any, you need to lose to achieve your desired body composition
- How many calories per day you burn without exercising—unique to you
- How many calories you burn from different exercises—again, specifically for your body
- Where you are on a scale of ideal body fat for your age and gender
The competition starts Monday, March 17th. The body fat testing clinic will be at the gym from 4-7pm. Each test takes approximately 10 minutes and you have to reserve your time beforehand. We cut a deal with the company – The first test is $49.00 and the re-test is $39.00

Here’s a short video of what to expect:

There are two prizes, one for best attendance during the challenge (challenge starts the day of test, challenge ends the day of retest) according to front desk and only according to front desk., (no emailing after class to say you were there but didn’t sign in etc). So make sure you sign-up beforehand AND sign-in when you get arrive at the gym for class!
The other prize is for best improvement in body fat percentage. For instance if you have % body fat of 10% to start, the 9% at the retest you lost 10% of your total body fat. If you start at 5% and retest at 4% you lost 20% of you body fat.
Again the pre-test is Monday, March 17th. Put it on your calendars!
