The Fitness Challenge is the game that helps you lose weight and get fit by creating a friendly competition between two people. The Fitness Challenge is like having a personal trainer in a box – everything you need to start and stick with your exercise program comes in one complete game. It’s as easy as pick a partner, place a wager, play 8 weeks. more info

One Word: MOTIVATION!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
My husband and I are ultra-competitive when it comes to athletics — so I was a bit concerned that the game would create more fights than fitness. Instead, it’s been so fun and and, because of our competitive streak, definitely motivating. The first week, he wasn’t so into it — but when I won the week (8 to 5), he ramped it up the second week, which is where we are now. On days when normally I would have wanted to just sit in front of the TV after a long day at work, I am motivated to get moving to earn my stars. We’re playing the instant-gratification version, so the one with the most points at the end of the week wins a smaller prize. The cards are way fun, and I love that they include things for kids so the whole family can get involved. When we have kids, they’re totally going to be playing this with us!

Motivation for Competitors
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This game is an excellent motivational tool for those couples with a competitive nature. If if you don’t win the points for the week or month, you can still win in making excerise a habit and loosing weight. I’ve lost 7 pounds in the first two weeks of “playing.”

Fantastic idea
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is without a doubt, a fantastic idea. My wife hates exercise, but is extremely competitive. This game is perfect of her and gives her motivation to actually workout.
The game is made up of quality items, and set up such that it can be played over and over again, which is a key to getting people to play again. Obesity is taking over the U.S., get the game for your family/wife/kids/spouse, and see the changes that take place! I can’t believe it took this long for a game like this to be developed.

husband is super runner and I’m super lazy..this worked for us both!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
My husband is a running freak. He’s one of those exercise zealots that tracks and times everything he does…while I prefer to sit on the sofa and “track” my online purchases and “time” my snacks. But after having a baby, I realized I had to do something to get off that baby weight. I read about this game in O magazine but was skeptical if it would work for us since I’m the only one that is exercise-challenged. I needed incentive. This game allows both the super-exerciser and the super-lazy to play each other, which is something really cool. I liked the incentives like massages and dinners out to nice restaurants. I was also motivated by Not wanting to wash his car or clean out the garage. He was incentivized by getting “Daddy’s night out with the boys” and having poker night with his buddies at our house where I supply beer and snacks and then disappear. This game rocks. I’m in much better shape and my husband..well, he just keeping looking better and better!

What a fun game
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’ve been reading about this game on a lot of weight loss chat lines and blogs. It’s been out for about 3 years and apparently it’s been getting a lot of press and a lot of people are playing it. So I thought I’d try it. I love how it targets the “wannabe exerciser.” That is sooooo me. I actually just lost over 20 pounds on Weight Watchers but it’s starting to creep back. For some reason, I find it easier to diet than to exercise but I know to keep the weight off, I have to add exercise. So I got the game and played it with my sister who is more of a couch potato than even I am and we had so much fun. I had so much more energy and felt great. My sister lost 12 pounds and she looks great. The game is well thought out. It has a clever point system that makes you exercise at least 3 days a week if you want a chance of winning. You can’t cram all of the workouts into the end of the 8 weeks (like I would try to do.) And it gives you tons of exercises to choose from so I didn’t get bored. I read an article in Women’s World about the creator. She invented it and played with her fiancé to get in shape for their wedding and then she used it to lose 60 lbs after the birth of her 2nd child. It worked so well for her and her friends that she brought it to market. Like the box says, “It’s the Bet That Makes You Sweat, It Inspires You to Perspire.”

Well thought out exercise program
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I convinced the women in our neighborhood book club to each buy this game to get us to exercise. I had already played it with my husband and loved it. Our book club tried group diets before but to no avail. Seems like we all start out gung ho but each week, more and more drop out. But this game works by having you play against just one other person. So we paired of 2 by 2. It not only brought out our competitive spirit but it became a matter of pride – we didn’t want to lose to our partner. We finished our eight weeks and everyone had so much fun with it. Some exercised more than others but we all felt that we were winners because we all exercised at least three times a week for the eight weeks – a far cry from what we used to do.
As for the quality of the game – it is really well thought out. The rules are simple to understand. The game board hangs upright. Most of us put it on our refrigerator (it comes with magnets.) It was fun when we’d go into each other’s homes and see how many stars were on their board. The game is reusable. In fact, a lot of us are already planning to play it again for another 8 weeks. You track your exercises by peel and stick stars and they worked well. No one had any problems with any of the game pieces. Even when my kids slammed the refrigerator door, my game stayed in place. Great concept!

Fun game
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Hubby and I are having fun with this,trying to outdo each other for stars! My only complaint is that I wish our kids could do this with us(instead of just 2 at a time). Also, the stars don’t stick to the board very well. Mine fall off. I have to keep sticking them back on and remember where they were! Good motivator,though.

Let the Game Bigin!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’m having so much fun with this ‘board game.’ My sister and I keep track of our workouts thus creating a real sense of friendly competition.
And when I take a look at the board and I see all the consistent work and effort I’ve been putting in, it just motivates me and challenges me to keep it up. I think it’s a great way to look at excercise and fitness!

Taylor (13-5) fought his way to the finals of season seven of The Ultimate Fighter, but was removed from the finale after an allegedly violent drunken episode in public. He cleaned up his act and was allowed a second shot in the Octagon, but was released after losing to C.B. Dollaway in July of 2008.
