Fashion challenge a life changer

The American Express Queenstown Winter Festival is calling for ladies who are looking to make a change for the better in 2012 to sign up for the Alpine Health & Fitness Lifestyle Challenge.

Previously coined the Ladies Fashion Challenge, the event, now in its fourth year, has had a bit of a make-over this year as the overall objectives of the challenge are brought to the fore.

Open to women of all shapes, sizes and ages, the 12 successful applicants will take part in what can best be described as a 12 week lifestyle make-over. The programme consists of fitness training, nutrition advice, catwalk and deportment classes, hair and make-up styling and a full fashion make-over culminating in the Alpine Health & Fitness Fashion Show staged as part of the 2012 American Express Queenstown Winter Festival.

“During the 12 weeks participants are professionally coached towards a common goal – to feel fit and fabulous and to walk the catwalk with style and confidence in front of friends, family and supporters.” Says Festival Director Simon Green

The Challengers will be trained by Funktional Fitness with support from the entire team at Alpine Health & Fitness. Hush and Heaven will provide hair and make-up and local fashion house Decode will provide gorgeous clothing and style for the catwalk with additional support from Lulu Lemon, Overland and Queenstown School of Dance.

“The goal is to deliver a fabulous fashion show finale, but the focus remains on giving 12 ladies a great experience, a new network of friends and an experience they can take forward into the rest of their lives as fitter, healthier and more confident individuals.” Says Sarah Cole of Funktional Fitness.

Full information packs are available online at wintefestival.co.nz and an information evening will be held at Lakes Leisure on Monday March 19th at 6.00pm. Applications close Friday March 23rd with training commencing April 2nd.
