L.A Fitness(New Zealand) - Lose 10 kgs in 6 months challenge

escadachic

I just thought I'd come on here and make people aware of this, in case you've not heard about this yet.

The challenge is, to lose 10kgs in 6 months, while hiring one of their exercise machines and if you've lost the 10kgs by the 6 months, you get to keep the exercise machine, for free, forever!

It's a great incentive for losing weight. Plus, it's good if either you don't have time for the gym and want to exercise privately at home or just want to exercise at home.

Don't worry, I don't work for them. I'm a SAHM(stay at home mum) And I'd do the challenge, but I've only got 5kgs to lose, so I have no need to do it. But I figured, since I can't, I might come and tell everyone else, who can.

Here's the link to their website and the page about the 10kg challenge: http://www.lafitness.co.nz/page49405.html

And this page lists their locations: http://www.lafitness.co.nz/fitness-hire-treadmills

I don't know which areas specifically they do this deal in, but they have an 0800 number if you want to find out.

0800 4 LA FITNESS (0800 452 348)

Here's some more info, I copied off their website.

"Here is the rundown:

-Sign up to rent any piece of Cardio Equipment for 6 months
-When you sign up we weigh you in and record your weight
-On your 6 month anniversary we will reweigh you, and if you have lost 10kg or more, then you WIN your machine"

I have heard about this! But I worry that it's a scam! Sounds too good to be true

No it's not scam don't worry(but I get why people would worry and be inclined to think that)

I was in their store yesterday buying some dumbbells and I asked about it. The deal is, you hire the exercise equipment for 6 months and if you've lost 10kgs by the 6 months, you keep the machine, if you've not lost the 10kgs, you just give the machine back or keep hiring it if you want.

Here's some more info:

"Points of Note:

-The 10kg loss must be at the end of the 6 months to promote a healthy rate of weight loss. If you lose the 10kg during the 6 months you must keep the weight off until the end of the 6 month hire term.
-The machine you recieve depends on the availability at the time of sign up. If we have an ex hire machine available you will recieve that machine. If not then we will assemble a new machine for you.
-We will do our best to get you the newest machine available, and one that has been fully serviced and reconditioned to as near new as possible.

-If at the end of the 6 months you haven't lost the 10kg's you have the following options:

-Continue for another 3 months and if at the end of those 3 months you have lost 10kg or more you still win the machine
-You can purchase the machine. We will quote you a price upon enquiry of this option
-Or you can return your machine"

Hmm, that's something I didn't know. That if you've not lost the 10kgs by the 6 months, you can continue to hire and if you've lost the 10kgs after the additional 3 months, you still win the machine.
