Join the Bio Age Challenge on our platform and our partner site FitYou, pushing the boundaries of health and fitness innovation!
In a unique collaboration, FitYou fitness studio and Our Website have launched the BioAge Challenge, a twelve-week programme designed to lower participants' biological age. The goal is to improve quality of life and functionality through a younger biological age.
The BioAge Challenge attracts a diverse group of individuals, ranging from 39 to 65 years old. Participants include Philipp Schmitt, a 35-year-old product owner, who is participating for prevention purposes, as he is genetically predisposed. Sabine Schüssler, a 53-year-old tax consultant, is participating with the motivation to improve her mobility after dealing with Long Covid. Other participants include Lena Rudenko, a 39-year-old IT Senior Consultant, who is seeking professional guidance tailored to her needs, and Marion Kluppel, the 56-year-old owner of Kluppel Nursery, who is participating to get back on her feet after an accident with a heel spur.
FitYou's BioAge analysis method is a health assessment approach that estimates an individual's "biological age" rather than just their chronological age. This method evaluates various biomarkers related to physical fitness, body composition, metabolic health, and lifestyle factors to provide a comprehensive picture of how well someone's body is aging. The analysis likely includes measurements such as body fat percentage, muscle mass, cardiovascular health indicators, flexibility and strength tests, metabolic markers, and lifestyle habits.
Using these data points, the studio’s system calculates a biological age score reflecting the participant's overall health status compared to typical age-related norms. The goal is to motivate participants to improve their health and fitness by showing progress in lowering their biological age during the challenge.
Participants meet for guided training every Thursday, and they can train and attend classes as often as they like. The EGYM BioAge analysis is used to record and adjust initial values for strength, flexibility, metabolism, and endurance. Notable participants include Sandra Altzinger, a 53-year-old assistant to the CEO, who is participating to become more flexible, lose weight, and age healthily, and Miriam Zang, a 52-year-old office clerk, who is participating with the motivation of being "fit for old age" and being able to do push-ups and pull-ups.
However, some participants like Stefanie Roth, a 51-year-old teacher with a BioAge of 74, have not disclosed their specific motivations. Gabi Pöhl, a 65-year-old former sales representative, is participating in the BioAge Challenge to improve her flexibility and well-being, while Silvia Schier-Schönmetz, a 59-year-old teacher, is participating to return to her former fitness level.
The 93rd Birthday in the Fitness Studio remains undisclosed.
This collaborative challenge promises to be an inspiring journey for all participants, as they strive to lower their biological ages and improve their overall health and well-being.
- The BioAge Challenge, a collaboration between FitYou fitness studio and Our Website, focuses on improving participants' health and well-being by lowering their biological ages through fitness, exercise, and science.
- Lena Rudenko, an IT Senior Consultant, participates in the BioAge Challenge to receive professional guidance tailored to her needs, while Marion Kluppel, the owner of Kluppel Nursery, aims to get back on her feet after an accident with a heel spur, both seeking health-and-wellness benefits through fitness-and-exercise and the application of scientific principles in the aging process.
