Kent Sport’s fitness competition is back by popular demand, offering members the chance to be selected for one-to-one fitness training and battle it out in a bid to be crowned Xercise Factor Champion 2016.
Applications are now open, and we are looking for students, staff and members of the public who think they have the Xercise Factor and want to commit to getting fit and changing their lifestyle for the better. It is a complete overhaul of exercise and lifestyle habits and the promotion requires full commitment from the contestants to complete the challenge.
If you are successful in your application you will join other contestants for the Xercise Factor boot camp in January where a member of the fitness team will mentor you for two weeks. Only the committed will make it to the second phase and compete for the honour of becoming the Xercise Factor Champion.
Reigning Xercise Factor Champion, student Wura Oyenekan, said “I have learnt throughout this competition that being fit and healthy isn’t about vanity. It isn’t about starving myself or bulking up for a quick fix or indulging in fad diets that are detrimental to my health. It is a personal journey. Not just a physical one, but a mental and emotional one too, in which I grow and learn about the wonders of human capacity. This has been such a wakeup call for me and one of the best experiences of my life. [I’m] grateful to Kent Sport for this incredible opportunity.”
