Congratulations to our 2024 Summer 8 Week #1uptransformationchallenge Male 1st place $10,000 cash prize winner Rafferty Gunn
This is his story:
As I reflect on my eight-week fitness journey, I can’t help but feel a sense of gratitude to the 1Up family. Like many, I initially joined this challenge after witnessing some truly inspiring transformations from others. I was surprised—and honestly a bit alarmed—by how much weight I had gained after neglecting my health and fitness for a while. I had been relying on the usual excuses that life throws our way: being a busy Dad to two young kids, dealing with health problems, work and managing injuries. You name it, and I probably blamed it!
At first, I felt hesitant about sharing my journey in the group. However, the overwhelming support from the community encouraged me to open up and engage. I quickly realized that I wasn’t alone in my struggles, and that sense of belonging motivated me to push harder.
Throughout this experience, one crucial lesson stood out: trust the process. I realized that many people, myself included, often get caught up in overthinking which program or diet to follow. In my early attempts, I allowed myself to become paralyzed by choices, which ultimately hindered my progress and I got to week 3 or 4 and the wheels would come off and I would be back to square 1 with the excuses.
Working with 1Up provided me with a solid training plan and nutritional support but it was commitment that really made the difference. The blueprint they give you will 100% work…if you do the work. When you decide to be truly dedicated and embrace consistency, even small daily efforts compound to bring about significant changes in your body, mind, and overall life.
I’m filled with gratitude for the support I received and the lessons I learned for the 1Up coaches and community. I encourage anyone who wants to better themselves to take that leap and do the challenge! Embrace the process, trust the 1Up blueprint, and commit to showing up for yourself every day.
