For the past 12 weeks, 6 Express readers competed for $5,000 and a one-year membership to Gold’s Gym. They have earned points by losing weight and competing in fitness challenges. Each contestant was given one hour each week to work out with a Gold’s Gym personal trainer.
Together, the 6 of them lost nearly 200 pounds!

A Reveal Reception was held at The Washington Post, just steps away from where the contestants met each other and their personal trainers only 12 weeks ago. Before the reception, the contestants were treated to skin and hair care treatments at Frizzles Salon. All three ladies received $500 to spend at Terra, a boutique specializing in dresses, where they also had personal shopping consultations. And the gentlemen were provided custom-tailored suits from Geoffrey Lewis, Ltd.
They all looked their best!
