2024 FFC Holiday InBody Challenge

Ready to stay fit and focused through the holidays? Join the FFC Holiday InBody Challenge and set yourself up for a stronger, healthier season! 🎄

What’s the Holiday InBody Challenge?

The Holiday InBody Challenge is designed to help you stay accountable, motivated, and progressing towards your fitness goals this holiday season. In addition to checking in to a club 8 times during the challenge dates, you’ll also be required to complete a minimum of one InBody Assessment. An InBody Assessment is a body composition analysis that measures a variety of health metrics beyond just weight, including muscle mass, body fat percentage, basal metabolic rate and more giving you a comprehensive view of your health in just 30 seconds. Each InBody assessment results in an InBody Score which is a numerical value that represents your lean body mass based on your height and weight, compared to healthy averages.

Challenge Dates

December 1 – 31, 2025
You must opt in to the challenge between November 28 – December 8, 2025.

How It Works

1. Opt-In – To confirm participation, visit the ‘My Dash’ screen on the FFC+ app and select ‘JOIN NOW’ on the pop up banner that asks if you’d like to participate. Please note, you must opt-in between 12/8.
