Nearly 2,000 women joined our online Fitness Bible for Women Live program over the last six weeks of 2012, in partnership with Santé Magazine. As the program creator, I was thrilled to review the outcomes, and I'm excited to share them with you.
I invited all participants to document their results, experiences, and feedback. Impressively, 53% did so.
Key Results
• 93% reported a significant boost in health awareness. The weekly Monday emails served as an effective weekly motivator—exactly as intended in this evidence-based lifestyle program.
• 3% noted it wasn't ideal for those with serious physical issues. One participant used this insight to finally seek professional help after four years.
• Participants (including two men) lost an average of 3.2 kg. One woman from Deventer dropped 6.2 kg!
• Many were already gym members but discovered the joy of new group classes.
• BodyPump emerged as the top favorite.
• 12% joined a sports club; 7% took up running.
Inspiring Participant Quotes
– 'Never thought I'd enjoy Yoga!'
– 'I collected the info and started post-holidays. Following the nutrition plan, I've lost 2 kg in two weeks!'
– 'Your Monday emails drove me to act—every time!'
– 'I wasn't very active, but still lost 1.5 kg!'
– 'Now my boyfriend eats rice cakes too!'
– 'Eating more yet losing weight—if only I'd known sooner!'
Looking Ahead
In 2013, we're developing new offerings: a fresh book and a corporate wellness program. Imagine team weight loss, stress reduction, and lower absenteeism with top Dutch coaches. Stay updated—sign up for our newsletter today and get notified for the next Fitness Bible for Women Live edition.
