Congratulations to our 2024 Summer 8 Week #1uptransformationchallenge Male 1st place $10,000 cash prize winner Gerardo Sanchez Jr
This is his story:
“After hearing my cousin rave about his fitness transformation with 1Up Nutrition, I was intrigued but hesitant. I’d tried many diets and workouts before, with little lasting success. Still, his persistence convinced me to join the 8-week challenge.
From day one, my wife was my biggest supporter. She encouraged me through every step, joined me on evening walks, and helped me with meal prep to ensure I stuck to my nutrition goals. Having 1Up’s Protein Powder and Pre-Workout, I dove into my first week, motivated by her belief in me. My goal was simple: to build strength and confidence.
By the second week, I started noticing changes, not just physically, but mentally. My focus improved, and I added 1Up’s Meal Replacement Shakes to curb cravings. The shakes quickly became my go-to post-workout fuel. Joining an online community of fellow participants added another layer of support and accountability.
Entering the third week, I felt stronger; my lifts improved, and I started to see muscle definition. Using 1Up’s BCAAs helped with recovery, making those intense sessions easier to bounce back from. By the halfway mark, I saw visible changes but knew I had more work ahead.
Week five presented new challenges. Life got busy, and sticking to my fitness plan was harder. Leaning on my community and my wife’s support, I found ways to adapt.
In week six, I looked in the mirror and saw the transformation: I felt lighter, stronger, and more vibrant. Adding 1Up’s Creatine boosted my workouts, and I even began helping friends with their fitness journeys.
The journey changed my mindset; obstacles became opportunities to grow. On the final day, I hit the gym early, determined to finish strong. After eight weeks, the results were undeniable. My friends and family were amazed, and I proudly shared my story, grateful for the support of my wife and 1UP.
Reflecting on my journey, I saw this as more than a physical transformation, it was a path to self-discovery. 1UP became part of my lifestyle, and the community felt like family.”
