Nine weeks. One shared goal: build a balanced movement habit.
Here's what the numbers — and participant feedback reveal about what ZYF participants accomplished during our last challenge
By the numbers
# of participants: 28
Ave # of blocks completed: 5.87
Ave % age of goal accomplished: 97%
The average overall experience rating was 9.7 out of 10.
Every single participant agreed or strongly agreed that:
The exercise felt appropriate for their fitness level
They understood the form cues and instructions
They understood the purpose of the challenge
They found the challenge's purpose useful to them
What participants found most valuable
Participants could select as many positive aspects as applied to them. Here's what rose to the top:
86% — Improved physical fitness
67% — Guidance from Julie
50%+ — Increased motivation, consistency, and overall structure
Which resources were most useful?
The percentage below reflects the number of participants who rated the resource "very useful."
Recorded classes — 100%
Text check-ins from Julie — 86%
The online course — 72%
The app — 67%
Private online group — 59%
Recordings at 100% confirms what I've been seeing in participation patterns — flexibility in when and how members work out is really important!
In their own words
"Julie's classes are consistently excellent and exactly what I need. Her moves and routines are creative, but most importantly, they are always effective. I've learned so much and continue to improve my strength and fitness." — JMa
"The 4-2-1 challenge helped me stay on track with my fitness during winter. I really enjoyed the variety of classes and the ability to utilize the recordings to participate on my own time. This challenge helped me become more well-rounded in my workout routine." — JMo
What I'm improving for next time
I asked for honest feedback, and I got it. Here's what participants shared — and what I'm doing with it:
Music energy — One participant noted that the music is usually spot on but there was one class with music that wasn't motivating enough. Music matters, and I'll be more intentional about energy level going forward.
Tracking — For participants not pursuing the full nine-block goal, it wasn't always clear how to log completions. I'll offer a clearer tracking option for that group next time.
Cardio volume — One participant felt there was too much cardio for her preference. I'm always listening to feedback like this as I continue to refine programming.
Understanding the block structure — A few participants weren't sure whether they needed to complete a block within a specific week. I'll make the rules clearer upfront so no one is second-guessing mid-challenge.
Two resources participants most want added to a future challenge: an exercise list and an equipment list posted with each recording (not just strength classes). Will do!
The 4-2-1 Challenge was one of my favorite programs to run, and the results tell me it was worth doing.
If you're curious about what it looks like to join ZYF for a structured, flexible, and genuinely effective fitness challenge — I'd love to have you in the one we are starting right now.
