When will the weigh in’s be held?
Admittedly, this is the most difficult part of the program, as we are currently scheduling coaches’ and participants’ schedules to coincide and accommodate everyone involved.  The following is a tentative schedule, and is subject to change. Please let us know what day or time works for you when you register:

Do you have to be taking a boot camp or other EBF Opportunity to participate in EB-LOSES?
You DO NOT have to be a part of boot camp or group training to participate. As with our other programs, we hope this program is a kick start and complement to your current and future effort. If you are in the program, you are eligible for Discounted Group Personal Training sessions at The Heights and Webster Groves. (Group PT rates are $100 for 6 weeks, instead of regular $120. Groups form throughout the program. Check out our EBF Community Forum for workout invites and more.)

Do I need to have a weight loss goal to participate?
No, as anyone can participate and benefit for the increased accountability, community support, and competitive spirit of this program. If your current goal is to simply “exercise more”, or to quit smoking, you will be receive the guidance and support for reaching those goals. We develop a plan of specific strategies for any behavioral change you are ready to make.

Do I have a chance to win if my goal is only to lose 5 lbs?
We award 3 Finalists, hoping to have an overall winner.  As the name states, keep in mind this is primarily a Weight Loss Competition, but those of you who make positive strides towards your health and fitness goals will receive recognition. We will be recording other factors that will be taken into account for the winner including how many times per week you are exercising (especially compared to before the competition started), total weight loss, body mass index measurements, nutritional considerations, smoking cessation, etc.

Who are the EveryBodyFIT Fitness Coaches? Do I know who is going to be my Team Coach?
Our current Team Bio Page, click here. For the most part, coaches will be decided upon by what Weigh In / Meeting time and location works for you. Team numbers will be capped appropriately to evenly disperse participants. Your coach will be contacting you by Monday of the first week of the competition.

“Personal care and guidance from their Personal Fitness Coach” sounds great, but what exactly does this mean?
 For the course of the 12 week program, your Team Coach, along with those in your group, will know what you are doing, how you are eating, and when you experience success. Each week, we will discuss a goal, and you will be responsible for writing down what your plan is for the week, (this will be designed and checked by your team coach), then you will report with your activity/nutrition journal for that week each time you come into weigh in.  Remember your old school Home Economics class in High School, when you had to carry that egg with you everywhere you went?  This is what this journal is going to be for you. You will be given a goal and plan for the week, and will come each week with your sheet in hand to tell the group what you did.  Team’s will be docked points at the end if someone does not bring their sheet in, and this will serve as a tie breaker at the end when tallying up winners in the final week. You will also receive a weekly phone call, email, AND text, every week, to insure you are sticking to your plan and goals for that week, along to answer any random questions you may have. Fitness coaches will be accessible at all times for feedback and questions.

The EveryBodyFIT Fitness Coaches are committing to working with their teams in each of these capacities and more. We hope that with this format, along with the community support and competition among all participants, we will all reach our goals!    

How “public” will the weekly weigh in's be? 
This is completely optional. The only person seeing your actual weight will be your team coach, unless you have to drop in to another group weigh in, then that particular coach will see the weight. We do not plan to post your weight on a score board in front of 10 million people as on TV. We do want to provide the community support and accountability though that comes with getting on a scale with peers around you. We want to provide support through the tougher weeks, and celebrate every success we find in the following 12 weeks.

What will the weekly discussions be like?
We aim to have a short topic for discussion this week along with “homework” for that particular week. We may go over a food journal, or discuss healthy snack ideas, or cover information such as exactly what each participant’s heart rate should be when burning calories doing cardio.  

What is the cost of the program?
The program runs in 12 week increments, separated by 6 week interim periods. You can sign up for 6 weeks at a time for $100, or for an entire 12 week program for $180 up front. We have two phases of the program, then after completing two 12 week programs, many are joining at a discounted price to remain a part of the EBF Community, receiving access to discounted fitness programs, free group exercise, online forums, and more. Come join our growing community and experience results far beyond weight loss. Keep in mind that the EBF Fitness Coaches charge $55-$60 / hour, so you will be receiving customized coaching support for 6 weeks for $90!

How do I guarantee myself a spot?
The fastest way to insure yourself a spot is to call or stop by the venue you wish to participate with cash, check or charge and sign up. Let them know you are signing up for the January 14th, EB-Loses program for either 6 or 12 weeks.  We send notifications out to many people who have expressed interest, but please understand we have a limited number of spots, so please contact us as soon as possible so we can begin sending our initial assessment sheets and scheduling your Meeting Times.
