For two weeks, over 800 athletes across 80 D1 Training locations have been lifting in the racks and running on the turf to try and win D1's inaugural $10K National Challenge.

Some of those athletes and facilities have shared great posts and testimonials on social media, showing how the challenge has influenced their fitness journeys. 

Let's take a look:

How The D1 National Challenge Works

From Aug. 4 to Sept. 14, get in the gym and attend D1's group classes. Maybe even bring in your non-member friend as well. 

You can earn points by accomplishing these tasks:

• Gain 1% skeletal muscle mass: 1 point (0.5% increase would be 0.5 pts)
• Lose 1% body fat: 1 point (2% decrease would be 2 pts)
• Workout 4 times a week: 1 point per 4 classes
• Weekly Social Media Post: 1 point
• Complete Google Review: 1 point 

At the end of the challenge, there will be $10,000 handed out in prizes to the top winners. 

There will also be a facility winner, where the facility with the top seven scores will be given a banner to proudly display that they have the best members.
