We are thrilled to release the winners of Winter 2017 Sleekgeek 8-Week Challenge! This was our 18th Sleekgeek challenge to date (we do 3 per year).
Our Summer Challenge sales open Friday 01 September right here – get on the VIP list for that right away and save R200 off your entry fee!
Once again, each of our challengers worked incredibly hard to achieve impressive results throughout their 8-week challenge period and our judges really had their work cut out for them to come up with our top winners.
Here are some quick stats:
- We had 252 Sleekgeeks submit their finals results, losing a total of 1,286.6kgs and an average of 5.1kgs per person!
- Our top 50 weight loss candidates lost a combined 640kgs with an average of 12.6kgs per person!
You can see a full Top 50 Weight Loss Chart towards the bottom of this results page.
All of those who submitted final results are that much closer to their goals – isn’t it time that you gave it a go?
So, a huge round of applause to our top 20 challengers who walk away with awesome prizes (pictured below) as well as bragging rights in our Winter Challenge of 2017! And, of course, a massive thanks to our awesome prize sponsors!
There are 5 winners in each of the 4 categories:
Judging process
A quick reminder that we have 4 categories to ensure fair competition: Men’s transformation, women’s transformation, men’s weight loss, and women’s weight loss.
Transformation is judged by our independent panel of judges via an audited voting process. The Transformation category is determined by who the judges believed had to do the most work to get from ‘Before’ to ‘After.’
Weight loss is judged purely by kilograms lost based on before and after measurements submitted and confirmed by before and after photos (which include a photo of their measurement on the scale).
Sleekgeek and its staff are not involved in the final decision-making and we accept the judges’ decisions as final.
