Inspiring Stories of Five Winners from Life Time's 60XT Wellness Challenge

Life Time's Inaugural 60XT Challenge: Celebrating Transformations

Life Time, the nation's leading healthy lifestyle brand, has proudly announced the winners of its very first 60XT Challenge. This groundbreaking program, which spanned eight weeks, captured the hearts of more than 25,000 participants nationwide as they committed to a healthier way of life. Each of the five grand prize winners received a total of $25,000 in prizes, including $10,000 cash and a luxurious prize package valuing $15,000.

The 60XT Challenge was not just about physical transformation; it was about fostering a healthy mindset through expert coaching, community support, and personal accountability. Participants documented their journeys through personal essays, and finalists were chosen by an expert committee before Life Time members had the opportunity to vote for their favorites via the Life Time app.

Meet the Grand Prize Winners

Here are the inspiring stories of the remarkable individuals who emerged victorious:

Raiza Costa – Life Time Dumbo, NY

As a pastry chef and mother of four, Raiza felt trapped in a cycle of weight gain and fatigue. Throughout the challenge, she discovered renewed strength, leading to a 27-pound weight loss. With the support of her coaches, she embraced strength training, focused on home-cooked meals, and incorporated daily movements, which transformed her routine into a more vibrant and energetic lifestyle.

Kenneth Crowder – Life Time Cary, NC

Kenneth, a Marine in recovery from a spinal injury, embarked on this challenge to strengthen himself not just physically but also as a father and husband. He successfully lost over 30 pounds and halved his body fat percentage, all while gaining muscle and spending more time engaging in healthy activities with his family.

Scarlett Espinoza – Life Time Miami at the Falls, FL

Following a severe ankle injury that rendered her unable to walk, Scarlett used the 60XT Challenge as a means to rebuild her strength and regain her confidence. With her community's backing, she lost 14 pounds and gained six pounds of muscle, achieving a personal milestone by executing a leg extension exercise for the first time post-injury.

Bharon Hoag – Life Time Easton, Ohio

Bharon, a chiropractor who had been feeling disconnected from a healthy lifestyle, began his challenge journey at 312 pounds. Guided by a trainer, he lost nearly 30 pounds while also reshaping his mindset, all while reclaiming control over his health.

Chaya Sanders – Life Time Bergen County, NJ

Initially joining Life Time for her children, homeschooling mom Chaya discovered her own life-altering transformation through the 60XT Challenge. She successfully shed over 20 pounds and 10% body fat, improved her overall sleep and digestion, and most importantly, gained the self-assurance to prioritize her own health alongside her family's needs.
