20 Week Challenge

Whether you are trying to increase your flexibility or get stronger, overcome an injury or compete in a new event, the 20 week challenge is a supportive and rewarding way for you to pursue the achievement of your health and fitness goals. Over a period of 20 weeks,  with the help and support of a personal trainer, you’ll get to focus on two key areas of your health and fitness that you’d like to improve on. The challenge is run through the winter in an attempt to keep you more engaged when you might be feeling less motivated, this means by the time you finish, you’ll not only be in to win lots of awesome prizes but you’ll be in a position to really make the most of summer.

Pumped has been involved in the 20 Week Challenge since 2012 with Pumped athletes entering into their chosen categories every year and for 20 weeks working together to achieve incredible results. Pumped Personal Training director Katie Lugtigheid has also been fortunate enough to receive the Catch Fitness Personal Trainer of the year award 3 times, a real achievement that we feel affirms her other award as the New Zealand Exercise Industry Awards NZ Personal Trainer Of The Year for 2015.

Pumped continues to scoop more awards and win more prizes at 20 week challenge than any other individual or collective group of personal trainers, read what we’ve won at 20 week challenge here.
