The 8 Week Challenge is suitable for everyone! VPA has ensured that the challenge is suitable to beginner, intermediate and advanced participants who share a common goal to transform their body and mindset over the next 8 Weeks.

VPA have employed a team of professional Personal Trainers and Dieticians to ensure that the challenge is suitable for most fitness goals and abilities.

The exercise programs and nutrition plans are general in nature and therefore, for that reason, VPA highly advises that you consult a Personal Trainer, Dietician or Nutritionist for any specific exercise and nutrition needs you may have.

If you are an existing VPA customer who has spent greater than $150 at VPA simply click the ‘Secure your Spot’ button located at the top of the page under the heading “Why Join the Challenge?”.

Non-existing VPA customers and VPA Customers who have not spent over $150 are required to purchase our $99 Challenger pack to gain access to the 8-week challenge.

There will be 4 main types of programs which have been designed to help you meet the two main objectives of the 8 Week Challenge: Muscle Gain or Weight Loss. All competitors will be have complete access to the following programs:

1. Weight Loss - Beginner
2. Weight Loss - Intermediate - Advanced
3. Muscle Gain - Beginner
4. Muscle Gain - Intermediate - Advanced

We advise that you select a guide most suited to your skill and your goal. example: If this is your first 8-Week Challenge, your goal is to lose fat and you do not have much experience in the gym, we recommend you to follow the ‘Weight Loss: Beginner Program’ for the duration of the challenge.

A gym is not essential for the 8 Week challenge as there are plenty of at-home workout guides that require minimal equipment on the challenger portal, however access to a gym may be beneficial.

For some of our more intermediate and advanced programs, a gym or gym equipment will be required.

No, it is completely up to you whether you decide to use the programs provided to you on the challenger portal. If you already have a personalised program in place to help you to reach your goals, we encourage you to keep on using that as it has been individually tailored to you and your goals.
