Starting from the first week of January 2021, the 12-week online fitness challenge of TC 12 will be hosted on the Fittr app. The company will be accepting entries of participants aged 18 and above from across the world, without any registration free.
Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Jitendra Chouksey, Founder& CEO, Fittr said, "At the beginning of each year, people embark on their health and fitness new year resolutions. However, many find it challenging to stick to these goals, as they fail to realize the importance of health and well-being. Though this has changed to a considerable extent due to the pandemic, there is still a long way to go for fitness to become an integral part of our lifestyle. This is what the transformation challenge aims to do – motivate people to rise up to the challenge and invest in their health. Transformation Challenge represents the ethos of Fittr. We strongly believe that anyone can become the best version of themselves with proper knowledge and guidance."
To inspire the Fittr community members and the participants of TC 12, Fittr has also released an anthem 'Whatever It Takes'. The anthem was released digitally on 1st January 2021 on Fittr's YouTube Channel and other platforms. The anthem is created by Tikdi Entertainment (script, direction, and production). It is penned and performed by HotFix, composed by GauravKadu aka Fiddlecraft and Pextyle, and shot, edited, and CC by New Ice Entertainment. The campaign depicts the determination to embark on a fitness journey and make a change despite many challenges, especially during the lockdown. In addition to this, Fittr has unveiled a message from Bollywood actor, SuneilShetty, encouraging the members of Fittr's online community to participate in TC 12.
Speaking about the anthem, Mr. Chouksey said, "With Fittr'sTransformation Challenge anthem, Whatever It Takes, we want to encourage our community members and participants to make the most of their fitness journey. It is also a small token of our appreciation for the unbeatable spirit of everyone during these challenging times."
During the transformation challenge, participants are required to upload a video showcasing their transformation, every week. The idea of the transformation challenge is to compete with yourself, as each participant is evaluated based on his or her past journey. While assessing the contestants, factors such as gain in muscle mass, fat loss, and consistency from the past transformation challenges are taken into account. The one who excels in every aspect will become the winner.
The grand prize will be given to the top performer across all the editions of TCs that will take place in 2021, including TC 12. This winner will be selected from the top 30 contenders through public voting on the social media channels of the company, based on their consistent performance and contribution to Fittr's online fitness community. In addition to this, winners will also receive high-end smartwatches and sports shoes.
