Giveaway closed.The winner is ENERGY25ME.

A few months ago, I had the privilege of winning two amazing contests that were sponsored by Life Fitness, a leading exercise equipment manufacturer, and the American Council on Exercise (ACE), a non-profit organization that certifies fitness professionals (including myself) and educates the public on exercise. Their judging panel of seasoned professionals named me America's Top Personal Trainer to Watch for my work here at SparkPeople, and among all of the finalists in the contest, I was also crowned "Fan Favorite," a title that I earned thanks to fan votes on Facebook.
 
As a prize for the latter honor, which was fueled by YOU amazing readers (thank you again!), Life Fitness awarded me their Body Shape Kit Plus, an amazing set of home exercise equipment that retails for $399. But since I don't have any need for this kit (my home is already chockfull of exercise paraphernalia), and since all of you helped me take home the honor, I am paying it forward and giving it away to one lucky dailySpark reader. 

What Life Fitness Says about the Body Shape Kit Plus:
"Designed to address the five key elements fitness — cardio, strength, balance, nutrition and education, the Body Shape Kit will educate, inspire and motivate you to achieve your fitness goals. This Kit offers top-of-the-line accessories, making it a complete "Gym in a Box" to help you achieve the results you are looking for."

The Kit includes:
  • Heart Rate/Pedometer Watch
  • 2 Multi-Program Exercise DVDs
  • Premium Equipment Mat (optional)
  • Double-grip Medicine Ball
  • 65 cm Non-rolling Balance Ball and Pump
  • 2 Comfortable Hand Weights
  • 2 Resistance Tubes
  • 2 Resistance Rings
  • Plush Foam Roller
  • Eco-Friendly Stretch Mat
  • Fitness Towel
  • Personal Program Planner
  • Exercise Guide

    I am a home exerciser. :) Hard to choose, but I find the HR watch, medicine ball, weights, balance ball very appealing!
    Congratulations Nicole, you do a wonderful job here and deserve that honor! - 12/15/2011   1:46:41 PM

    All of the 'Body Shape Kit Plus' appeals to me, the one item most is the 'Heart Rate/Ped watch'. The two in one I think would be an awesome addition. - 12/15/2011   1:16:26 PM

    I have a gym membership, but I also have a small home gym. I have dumbbells, kettle bells and various types of bands. So I'd love to win this kit.

    Congrats Coach Nicole on your winning style. - 12/14/2011   6:24:05 PM

    Coach Nicole
    Congrats on your winning. This is such a thoughtful and precious thing for you to do by passing it on to someone else in need. I have my eyes, toes, and fingers crossed. Would love to have a heart rate monitor that works for a change. However it all is needed and appealing - 12/13/2011   8:25:56 PM

    I do both at home and gym, even though I have nothing at home other than my own body weight. The gym is a challenge for me because it is 20 minutes away. It is very difficult to drive 40 minutes to do 20-30 minutes of ST. Since I lost my job in August, and mine was the primary income, the monthly fees are now becoming an issue as well. for me the heart rate monitor would be great and something I have always wanted, but what I need to be able to do this at home are the things for ST (medicine ball, resistance bands, etc.) - 12/13/2011   10:02:58 AM

    I am interested in the whole set, but most interested in the Heart Rate/Pedometer Watch, I could use this, I am going to have to give up my gym membership as I have been laid off for over a year now, money is getting tight. - 12/13/2011   7:57:11 AM

    I'm having to ditch my local gym and focus on home exercise. The most interesting/needed items for me are: the heart rate/pedometer watch, the double-grip medicine ball, and the plush foam roller. The exercise ball would also be cool - mine is in my voice studio at school, as we use it as a teaching tool with our students.

    Congratulations, Coach Nicole, what an awesome honor for you - and well deserved!

    I work out at home during our winter vacation. I have some of those accessories but the bands and weights would be very helpful.

    Thx for the offer. - 12/12/2011   8:25:49 AM

    Congrats!!!!
    This would be an awesome gift for my daughter. She is turning 12 tomorrow and she has been really wanting to start getting fitness items at home so she can start getting lean as she calls it.
    Thank you for giving me the chance to try and win it...I would never be able to afford this otherwise.
    It is so very sweet of you to think of all of us.

    Thanks again - 12/12/2011   8:22:00 AM

    Congratulations Coach Nicole! And thanks for the amazing giveaway, it looks awesome. I could use Mats, the Balance Ball & Resistance Bands... but I've been asking for a Heart Rate Monitor and Foam Roller for a while now so those would be great! - 12/11/2011   11:25:51 PM
  • 94
    This looks like a really good home gym. I like the medicine ball and the resitance bands. I am still useing and old bike tire for bands. Soup cans for weights. I am working my way up to deturgent bottles for weights - 12/11/2011   10:48:43 PM

    With six kids at home and homeschooling, I usually do all my workouts at home. I'm always looking for new ways to mix up my routine. In fact, right now I'm trying to find something new to kick my body out of this plateau! - 12/11/2011   7:48:56 PM

    Congrats Nicole! So happy you got some attention! I could definitely benefit from this prize. I am a senior in college. I go completely on financial aid, so I don't usually have the money for this kind of stuff. Good luck to everyone! - 12/11/2011   7:24:37 PM

    Congrats on getting the recognition that you deserve and thank you for paying it forward to one of the spark members. And yes I would be fibbing if I said I didn't want to win, but good luck everyone. Thanks again you are fantastic!!

    I'd use everything but the resistance band as I don't have any of this stuff. I'm newer to fitness and love working out at home because I can schedule it whenever I want instead of trying to get to a gym or to a class. - 12/11/2011   6:38:34 PM
  • 87
    WOW- what a great kit, I love having the option of working out at home ,especially in the gloomy winter when i can't bear to go outside..but I NEED to workout..the medicine ball OOOO, the ball ;D, the videos ! ALL great stuff I'd LOVE to have!! And congrats on all your recent wins ;D Well deserved! - 12/11/2011   5:54:17 PM

    I exercise at home and would love all of the stuff in this kit. The double-grip medicine ball is what caught my eye the most though. - 12/11/2011   5:37:57 PM
  • 85
    I'd love to have the heart rate monitor watch! And the stability ball - we have one, but it has a leak so it's not so useful... - 12/11/2011   5:18:05 PM

    Congrats on your wins Coach Nicole.

    I would love to win this, but as usual all the pop-up pages have errors on them and will not load :(.

    Just don't understand why this keeps happening on almost every page. - 12/11/2011   4:31:33 PM

    Glad to hear you have been recognized for the work you have done and thanks for paying it forward. I am drooling over this kit.
    It is hard to pick one item, so here are my top items:
    Heart Rate/Pedometer Watch
    Double-grip Medicine Ball
    2 Resistance Tubes
    2 Resistance Rings

    These will help supplement my predator bands and help me with more flexibility and if finances require I will have a complete set of tools to keep up the progress I have made with my personal trainer. - 12/11/2011   4:27:21 PM

    Congratulations!! What an honor and paying it forward is really great of you! I am studying to be a certified personal trainer and would love to have this set as a start up set for working with individuals in their home. A trainer helped me lose 100 lbs and now I want to give back too.....and this all happened after the age of 55! My lifestyle change, with the help of Spark People too, uncovered a passion to help others with healthy living. You are an inspiration!! - 12/10/2011   11:58:33 PM

    Congratulations Coach Nicole! This grouping of items sounds fantastic--I do not have the money for a gym and only have a treadmill. The medicine ball, tubes, rings, and weights would be a great add-on for my "home gym." The roller and mat would be a great addition for my soon-to-be-regular yoga routine :-) 2012 is my year to reach new fitness achievements and somehow, someway, I will do it! - 12/10/2011   2:11:40 PM
