Sweat Challenge hero four trainer

Congratulations, Sweat Community! Over the last 42 days we launched ourselves into six epic weeks of workouts, set our fitness goals and intentions and came together to Sweat. Through all of the ups and downs, you supported each other and completed the Sweat Challenge!

You should be SO proud of what you’ve achieved!

Can you believe over 23,000 of us registered for the Sweat Challenge?! There were members from 179 countries who ticked off more than 200,000 workouts!

Alongside your trainer and the rest of the Sweat Community, you completed rep after rep, sharing your struggles and go-to tips for digging deep and achieving your goals as we got stronger together.

We came together and put ourselves first

When you first signed up for the Sweat Challenge, six weeks might have seemed like a long time to commit to your fitness goals, but you challenged yourself and pushed through each week! 

For some of you, this was the first fitness challenge you’ve completed and we applaud you. You were patient and persistent, and you made the promise to keep showing up and supporting each other.

We also had plenty of members who know exactly what the Sweat Challenge is about: a chance to reset their goals, mix up their routine, level up their training and ultimately remind them just how much you can achieve in 42 days with the support of thousands of women from every corner of the globe.

The Sweat Community vibes were high over on the Forum with thousands of comments, while on Instagram our broadcast channel, The Latest Drop, kept you motivated and celebrated your momentum. 

And it wasn’t just good vibes we were sharing - there were some epic prizes up for grabs, too! To celebrate this Sweat Challenge we gave away eight pairs of Sony’s noise-cancelling headphones to help you take your workouts to the next level.

We found discipline and challenged ourselves

It was sometimes hard to find the motivation to exercise after work, once the family had gone to bed, or simply on those days when you’re feeling the fatigue that can come with getting back into a consistent routine, but you did it!

You pushed yourselves, smashed your weekly sessions and inspired us all! Over on the Forum, you encouraged each other to embrace a positive mindset and prioritised progress over perfection. 

We learned from the trainers - and each other

During the Sweat Challenge, you received weekly emails that featured trainer tips and tricks to help you feel motivated, informed and ready to achieve your goals. 

With their goal-based challenges, Kayla Itsines, Ruba Ali, Britany Williams and Katie Martin were all SO excited to support you on your Sweat Challenge journey. And now you’re at the finish line? They couldn’t be more impressed. 

“That was hard but so, so worth it,” said Kayla, who followed The Body Burner Challenge right alongside the community. “If you're wondering where to next from here, there are so many programs on Sweat including my brand-new Strength with Kayla program! There really is something for everyone.”

“Well done, you did it!” says Ruba. “I’m so proud of you and hope you feel amazing. Let’s keep the momentum going and keep working on our fitness goals together by continuing with my Thrive program.

“I am so proud of you. Fitness journeys will always have their ups and downs and I’m sure you experienced a little bit of both over the last six weeks, but I want you to find the moments that you can feel accomplished over and I want you to celebrate those moments,” said Britany, with a powerful reminder that you are worthy of celebration.

“Congratulations, you did it!” Katie shared with her community. “Six weeks. Four workouts a week. You didn’t stop and I am one proud trainer!”

We made some EPIC meals 

To help you get the most out of your Sweat Challenge journey we released three delicious meal plans to help power your progress. With delicious, nourishing meal ideas, weekly shopping lists and a nutritionist created menu designed to support your training goals, we loved seeing what you cooked up! 

We supported each other

One of our favourite things about the Sweat Community is the unbeatable support and encouragement when you’re thriving, but also in every moment of self-doubt, losing momentum, having no motivation or not feeling your best. The Sweat team is always here for you. The Sweat Community always has your back. And we applaud you for every choice you made that put your wellbeing first over the last six weeks.

We celebrated our wins together 

For those who’ve been with Sweat for a while, we loved to see you sharing your progress and celebrating your wins with the community! 

Whether you’ve tried a new training style, started a new habit or discovered motivation you didn’t know you had, your achievements are amplified when you share them with women going through a similar journey!

We will keep going strong together

Now that this Sweat Challenge is over, you don’t have to wait for the next challenge to continue your training. You can keep going towards your health and fitness goals (or set new ones!) and build on your progress. You've got this!
