To bring out your best self
Challenge doors close in....
Hello future Octagoon!
Around 81% of people who start fitness challenges want to lose weight.
If you're one of them, you're in the right place. Our 8-week challenge, complete with a custom macros plan and weekly adjustments, is designed just for you.
But here's something even better: this challenge goes way beyond weight loss. You'll quickly discover that enhancing your mindset, heart, strength, and relationship with food leads to transformative changes.
By the end of this journey, you'll not only question the norms of diet culture but also start walking a new path free from weight-related worries.
This challenge isn't just any program; it's an 8-themed adventure into health, with each week dedicated to a different aspect of well-being. Joined by a team of experts and coaches, we'll explore these themes together, applying what we learn to foster a healthier, happier you.
Spaces are limited, and securing your spot early can save you significant cost, too.
If this resonates with you, make sure to explore this page in full for all the details.

Start your day off with our 15-minute podcasts so you know what to focus on each day. We'll be sharing research, stories and motivation with you, themed by each week.
✅ Weekly live coaching call with Ryan Libbey
More information about this in the video below. This accountability and weekly check-in will play a big part in your progress.
The Weekly Themes
Week 1 - Preparation & Build Up
This week includes a live planning & goal setting session with former Team GB mindset coach Dean Leak & some fun workouts with Ryan Libbey. You'll get to know each other, join WhatsApp groups, listen to podcasts and get familiar with our awesome all-in-one wellness app which you'll use to track your nutrition, stress levels, menstrual cycle and more.
Week 2 - Strength & Conditioning Week
Live strength & conditioning workouts this week. A focus on building up the intensity and helping you master key exercises for performance. Start the week off with a strength test session with Ryan Libbey (which will be repeated in week 8) and fun workouts with Jo Michaels, an award-winning fitness coach!
Week 3 - Eastern Wisdom & Movement Week
A week of movement with Pilates & yoga and a focus on mindfulness from the wisdom of the east. A chance to slow down, amongst the craziness of life.
Week 4 - Running Week
Maybe you don't run at all and haven't for years, or you're an experienced Strava pro, this week will have something for you. 3 run challenges + a group virtual run with coach Max Willcocks to finish the week.
Week 5 - Dance & Mental Health Week
Dance has been shown to help with anxiety & moderate depression better than other forms of exercise. Let's follow some epic dance fitness workouts this week with a focus on our mental health. We'll journal, dance & speak with a CBT therapist & mental health nurse. Rounding this week off with reflection and tools to tackle life.
Week 6 - Heart Health Week
Given the importance of cardiovascular health, dedicating a week to heart health is important! You'll follow the minimum needed exercise plan for heart health along with live Q&As with Dr Aman. Why the "minimum" required? It's so we know what our base should always be. And this information is important to pass on to our loved ones. Only 28% of adults lift weights 2x a week, with only 19% of over 65s doing so. This will be an illuminating week for your health.
Week 7 - Military & Stoicism Week
A week to push boundaries and see what we're made of. We will follow some military fitness tests and see where we stand. You'll learn about Stoicism and how this can help with your resilience in training and life. We're hosting 2 live sessions with Adam Libbey too. Adam was in the army from 2007 to 2013. He's done 2 tours of Afghanistan and awarded a joint commander's commendation for bravery. He's also trained as a trauma incident manager. You'll join 2 insightful live sessions with Adam about his life in the army and the life lessons he's taken from his career so far.
Week 8 - Lifestyle Building Week
A perfect conclusion, focusing on integrating the lessons learned into daily life for sustainable health and happiness. We will finish this week with a variety of fun workouts and a planning session for your next 8-week post challenge. Even though the challenge comes to an end here it's important to have a plan post challenge to keep your momentum going.
And to finish, we'll be hosting an end of challenge event. More info below
