December Fitness Challenges

Leventhorpe Pool & Gym, a popular fitness club in Sawbridgeworth, is excited to invite all fitness enthusiasts to take part in our upcoming event – the Winter Fitness Challenge! In the midst of the festive season, it's easy to let go of our fitness goals. But with these exciting challenges, you can stay on track and even take on new challenges to keep your fitness journey going strong.

Are you ready to lace up your shoes and embark on an exciting walking adventure? Join our “Walking In A Winter Wonderland – Step Challenge” and see how many steps you can clock up this December. Increasing your daily step count is a fantastic way to boost your overall activity levels, improve your fitness, and enhance your overall well-being. You can effortlessly track your steps by connecting your Fitbit or Misfit device to your profile, or manually add a 'walking' activity to your planner.

Of course, we all know that the holiday season comes with its fair share of indulgent treats. To help you stay aware of your calorie intake, we present to you the “Christmas Calorie Countdown” challenge. With mince pies, chocolates, Christmas parties, and the grand Christmas dinner itself, the excess calories can easily add up. But fear not! By logging your activities in your fitness planner, you can keep track of your progress and burn off those extra calories.

Let's finish 2023 on a high note and run into the New Year with a bang! Our “Run Into The New Year” challenge encourages you to complete as many running miles as possible during December. No matter how you prefer to track your runs, whether it's through a connected device like Fitbit, Strava, or MapMyRun, or manually logging your running distance in your planner, every step counts towards your achievement.

Feel the festive spirit and embrace the holiday cheer by taking part in our “Cycle The Christmas Lights Challenge”. As Christmas lights illuminate the streets, we challenge you to cycle the 255 mile (410 km) distance from the famous Regent's Street lights in London to the Blackpool Illuminations. Whether you track your cycling activity through a connected device or manually log your cycling distance, all efforts count towards this exciting challenge.

And finally, for all the water enthusiasts out there, we present the ultimate swimming challenge – "Swim The English Channel”. Conquer the iconic 22 mile (35.4 km) stretch of water between Dover and Calais by swimming your way to victory in the pool. By tracking your swimming activity through a connected device or manually adding your swim distance in your planner, every stroke brings you closer to conquering this legendary feat.

So, don't let the festive season derail your fitness goals. Join Leventhorpe Pool & Gym in these exciting challenges and enter the New Year with a sense of achievement, improved fitness, and a fantastic community of like-minded fitness enthusiasts by your side. Let's embrace the spirit of the season while staying dedicated to our fitness journey. See you at the Winter Fitness Challenge!
