Challenges and Rewards [Part II]

​Successfully completing a fitness challenge is a feat to be proud of! It took sacrifice and hard work, which should absolutely be rewarded. But what's a good reward?!

Every studio or gym may have parameters that define what they can give, or think is best! Here are the 3 principles behind our freehouse rewards.

[1]  Everyone who completes a challenge should be rewarded! Our challenges are not really contests or giveaways where only the top-dog is rewarded or someone is chosen at random. If you do the work, you should be rewarded!

[2]  Gifts make for better rewards than discounts. I know...we all love saving money! But a discount requires you to spend more money to get your reward which isn't easy for everyone. A discount also has no psychological attachment to the accomplishment and is gone in an instant. So the pride and positive feeling from completing a challenge will disappear. But a tangible gift that can be reused indefinitely will always remind you of how awesome you are every time you see it! I think it's a great self-esteem boost that goes a long way.

[3]  Rewards are exclusive for challengers - whenever possible. Having your reward be something not everyone can get, and having it uniquely marked with the challenge you completed, is a direct reminder of how strong you are and what you're capable of!

We hope you enjoy our challenge rewards, and more importantly, always take the time to personally tell yourself how fabulous you are! Sacrificing time, money and energy to get your workouts in whenever possible is no easy feat. So be sure to recognize your own hard work and believe you are always capable of accomplishing your goals.

See you at the studio!
