It was a long 100 days. After all was said and done, over 320 lbs were lost and a lot of members at The Club at Morristown were well on there way to their weight loss goals. The 100 day competition, which combined exclusive boot camps, nutrition consultations and weekly meetings with trainers, ended in a surprisingly close finish, with just 1.5 lbs separating First and Second places.
The winner, Tim Jabbour, lost a total of 40 lbs, surpassing his original goal by a large margin. Tim will be celebrating his first place finish with a trip to Atlantic City's Borgata Hotel & Casino courtesy of The Club. Tim worked with Matt Kovacs over the last 5 weeks of the competition. "Tim's focus and drive throughout the entire contest was inspirational, "says Kovacs. "He'd make weekly goals and consistently hit them. He took everything I showed him and completely changed the way he trained. I'd see him every morning at 6am on the power racks or the treadmill. It's a great feeling to have contributed in a small way to his success." Tim and his wife, Katie, who recently became parents for the first time, are already looking forward to the next weight loss competition.
Second place finisher Cathi Hewston lost a total of 39 lbs. According to Cathi, her journey has just begun. Training with Greg Pompei, mostly in the boxing studio, Cathi's plan is to lose another 40 lbs by Christmas.
Rounding out the top 3 was Rachel Collins, a native of Ireland in the U.S. on an internship. Rachel lost a total of 16 lbs, and more importantly, has a newly found healthy lifestyle.
Kovacs says the success of the program can be attributed to the dedication of all the contestants as well as the training staff. "Seeing the reactions at the weigh ins every week was great. The participants really pushed each other. We're all proud of everyone involved."
Look for the next competition this Winter.
