OUR SEARCH FOR AUSTRALIA'S FITTEST WOMAN!

Reckon you’re the fittest chick in your gym? Here’s your chance to put it to the test — at the very first Shape Fit Chick Challenge. Win and you’ll not only appear in Shape (big bragging rights there), but you’ll head home with more than $2000 in cash, gear and products.

When:  27-29 April, FROM 10am-5pm

Where: Australian Fitness & Health Expo, Darling Harbour, Sydney

Who Should Enter: Any fit female who is up for a challenge!

What’s the Challenge?

Due to the success of last year's Men's Fitness Fit Bloke Challenge, sister publication, Shape, is launching its own event. The Shape Fit Chick Challenge is a fitness competition comprising several demanding physical tests. It will be staged in conjunction with the Men's Fitness Fit Bloke Challenge at the Australian Fitness & Health Expo in Darling Harbour in Sydney. Entry to the comp is FREE, but competitor numbers are limited to 30 women. The Challenge will be held over the three days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday), culminating with a grand final on Sunday, 29 April. You will be required on all three days of the event.

What are the exercises?

We’re not going to tell you exactly, but we will tell they include box jumps, pull-ups, kettlebell swings and deadlifts. Overall, the exercises will test your speed, strength, stamina, endurance and mental toughness and they’re against the clock. One thing’s for sure, it won’t be easy. And you’ll be competing head-to-head on stage in front of a live audience. There are no weight categories, but you do have to be over 18.What then?

If you’re selected to compete, someone from Shape will be in touch before the event. You’ll be sent a starter’s pack with more information about the challenge, tickets to the Expo and a contestant’s shirt that must be worn during the event.
