Congratulations to our 2025 Summer 8 Week #1uptransformationchallenge Male 5th place $2,000 cash prize winner Sam Pierce
This is his story:
“Two years ago, I did the 1UP transformation challenge for the first time. I was 60lbs heavier, borderline diabetic, and riddled with chronic back and knee pain that kept me from enjoying life. What’s worse, I’d competed in bodybuilding in college and always considered myself an athlete. Covid took my startup and my health and I felt that life as I knew it was pretty much over. I’d given up. That challenge two years ago was the end of the worst part of my life, and the start of something new. Fast forward to this year: I’d made good progress but needed motivation to really take things to the next level. That’s where the 1UP team and community inspired me to finally put my full effort into this. It wasn’t easy. The back pain still lingered. Trips and family events presented food temptations left and right. But knowing that I would be posting my photos all over the internet kept me focused on every meal, lift, and cardio session. If you really want to make huge and immediate progress, join a challenge like this one; track your food, supplements, and workouts and don’t let that voice of weakness inside you talk you into deviating. Whatever you measure, you can manage. Through this challenge, I learned again what I’m capable of. More importantly, I learned the importance of community. My workout partners, coach, and the entire 1UP community pushed me way, way, way outside of my comfort zone to be the best I can be. And you know what? That’s when I’m happiest. It’s never too late for you to change your life.”
