Fit 4 Life | Farm work wasn’t sweet, but it was energetic

There was nothing sweet about the energetic boot camp Sweet Energy Fitness Club hosted on Saturday morning at the Fit Farm Fitness Club, 2 Upper Braemar Avenue in St Andrew.

Boot camp drill sergeant Robert 'Astro' Whyte, Anthony Kepple, MC Sheena-Kaye and the Sweet Energy team took participants through four intense circuits - aerobics, abs, farmers carry and boot camp blast.

Following that, Fit 4 Lifers had to face off in the obstacle challenge to see who were Tuff Enuff to be the finalists in the ultimate Tuff Enuff Challenge this Saturday, in Fit 4 Life's Season 2 Grand Finale.

Winners earned prizes such as gift baskets from sponsor Chas E Ramson; gift baskets from GraceKennedy and Aloe Drink; one-month membership with TrainFit Club, Body By Kurt and Sweet Energy Fitness Club; gift bags from Shavuot International, and Fit 4 Life gift bags, T-shirts and water bottles.

Sponsor Chas E. Ramson refuelled everyone with power shakes made with Foska Oats and Blue Diamond Almond Milk; while partner GraceKennedy's Caribbean Choice provided enjoyable meals. There were also refreshing beverage, from Grace Aloe and Catherine's Peak, and naturals teas from Shavuot International.

Sponsor Medical Associates was on hand to do medical check-ups.
