Background For Lori, the Marethouse Fitness Challenge represents a step in her "ultimate health quest." Her first step was to quit smoking after 22 years of living with the addiction, and like many ex-smokers, Lori put on some extra weight when she quit. After years of putting toxins and poisons into her body, Lori decided he second stop should be to cleanse her body through a de-tox program. The next step is to become completely healthy in all aspects of her life. This is where the Fitness Challenge comes in. Since Lori has never had a weight problem, she was not sure how to exercise and eat right, or even where to begin. Clearly Lori has made big changes in her life over the last several months and we look forward to working with her as she continues to try and improve her lifestyle.

However, Lori works full time in a bakery and has a part-time job, so she is constantly surrounded by temptations and has very little time to dedicate to exercising.

Based on how often the participant works out with a trainer, how many times they exercise on their own, and the foundation of their food journal, the contestants will have points added or deducted from their point bank. This point total, combined with the overall progress of the client's physical health (personal information), will determine the final winner of the competition.
