Congratulations to our 2025 Spring 8 Week #1uptransformationchallenge Male 3rd place $4,000 cash prize winner Ryan Smith
This is his story:
“This was my second time doing the 1UP Transformation Challenge, and coming back for another round was something I felt really called to do. Last year, I also placed third, and I wanted to see if I could push myself even further, not necessarily for the placement, but to prove to myself that I could level up in a new way. Placing again was an incredible feeling, and honestly, just showing up and committing to the process was already a huge win.
This time around, I felt really strong mentally. That doesn’t mean it was easy, there were definitely moments that tested me—but I felt more grounded and confident in how I navigated the ups and downs. One of the biggest game changers was using the 1UP app. The workouts are super easy to follow, and being able to track my macros in the same place kept me accountable. The Facebook group was another massive source of motivation it’s such a powerful community of people who truly want to see each other win.
Throughout the challenge, I learned how important consistency and mindset are. It’s not always about pushing harder physically, but staying connected to your “why” and leaning on the tools and support available. I’m incredibly grateful to the entire 1UP community and team for the encouragement, the resources, and the high-quality products that honestly made a big difference in my journey.
For anyone just starting out: take it one step at a time. Don’t overwhelm yourself trying to be perfect. Use the tools, ask questions, connect with others, and stay consistent. Your results will come not just in how you look, but in how you feel about yourself.”
