Gold’s Gym Saipan, in partnership with PHI Pharmacy, Michelob Ultra, Brabu Pharmacy and Wellness Center, and TurnKey Solutions, will persevere and host the “2021 Gold’s Gym Challenge.”

Registration is open and the last day for sign-ups will be Saturday, April 3. Gold’s Gym Saipan will choose their local winners who will be eligible for a prize pool featuring 20 cash prizes totaling $5,000. Winners will be chosen based on their transformation. Overall male and female winners, plus age group winners will be receiving cash and prizes. Gold’s Gym general manager Tyce Mister shared, “I love the Challenge! Everyone who participates and puts in effort comes away a winner, even without winning a big prize! The goal is body transformation, but participants come away with so much more than that.”

At Gold’s Gym, the mission is to “Help people achieve their potential through fitness.” The Gold’s Gym Challenge has proven time and time again, that participants surprise even themselves with the changes made throughout their Challenge journey. Changes, not only with their body and fitness levels, but also with their development with discipline, willpower, and inner strength often making them a better person in their personal life, work life, and in our community.

For example, Patrick Tudela, 2020 Local Overall Male Challenge Winner and 1st Place Overall Male International Winner who lost 7.5 inches around the waist and 7% body fat while improving muscle tone, said “I am very happy that I was able to stay committed and consistent and see the journey all the way through until the end. But the end doesn’t mean I’m done. I will continue on this path and see where I go on this fitness journey.”

Venus Raguine, 2020 Local Overall Female Challenge Winner and 3rd place Overall Female International Winner, shared “There are several ways in which I have benefited in my life from exercising regularly, besides just making me stronger more than I thought. It has made me become more organized, helped me make better decisions, and motivated me to take on new challenges in life.”

Gold’s Gym International had postponed the 2021 Challenge until this Spring, but recently made the difficult decision to cancel it for this year due to the pandemic. However, a handful of Gold’s Gyms around the world (outside of the U.S.) have decided to continue with their own Challenges. Gold’s Gym Saipan will be one of those gyms.

Registration is now open. Gold’s Gym Saipan has launched the 12-week fitness campaign that aims at changing lives in the Marianas. The Gold’s Gym Challenge 2021 offers contestants an opportunity to exceed their fitness goals, transform themselves, and earn a chance to win cash prizes at the same time. It is not too late to join, as the last registration date is April 3. Registration is only $50. Participants must be a member of Gold’s Gym Saipan. A Challenge promotion is available. Please stop by or call the Welcome Desk at (670) 233-4000 for more details.

These Challengers will be measured and photographed at the start of the 12-week program to establish a point of reference for their transformation. At the end of the challenge, contestants will be measured and photographed once again to document the results of their progress and to determine the winners of each category.

The Gold’s Gym Challenge is open to any individual, age 18 or older, that lives in the CNMI. Aside from their sense of accomplishment, the top individuals will be awarded cash and promotional prizes. Gold’s Gym Challenge has been an annual event since 2013. This serves to be a great opportunity for companies and organizations to promote health and fitness to their employees by encouraging them to join Gold’s Gym Challenge and help support the competition.

The 2021 Gold’s Gym Challenge benefits everyone involved and Gold’s Gym would like to thank their partners for this special event that will impact the community in such a positive way: PHI Pharmacy, Michelob Ultra, Brabu Pharmacy and Wellness Center, and TurnKey Solutions.
