However, many find it challenging to stick to these goals, as they fail to realize the importance of health and well-being. Though this has changed to a considerable extent due to the pandemic, there is still a long way to go for fitness to become an integral part of our lifestyle. This is what the transformation challenge aims to do – motivate people to rise up to the challenge and invest in their health. Transformation Challenge represents the ethos of Fittr. We strongly believe that anyone can become the best version of themselves with proper knowledge and guidance.”To inspire the Fittrcommunity members and the participants of TC 12, Fittr has also released an anthem ‘Whatever It Takes’.

Speaking about the anthem, Mr. Chouksey said, “With Fittr’sTransformation Challenge anthem, Whatever It Takes, we want to encourage our community members and participants to make the most of their fitness journey. It is also a small token of our appreciation for the unbeatable spirit of everyone during these challenging times.”During the transformation challenge, participants are required to upload a video showcasing their transformation, every week.
