An aspiring MMA fighter claimed he is the legitimate winner of an F45 fitness competition that offered a free vacation to fiji – because it changed his life.
sydney Father Ben Meakin completely transformed his lifestyle during competition, waking up at dawn to go running and completing four training sessions every day for a month.
However, he now wonders if the challenge was judged solely on weightloss alone, instead of the change in his general health, after a competitor who lost more kilos than he took the title.
Mr. Meakin started each day with a shake containing protein powder, beetroot and coconut water and spent hours preparing the meal.

He said that from day one he had been determined to win the fitness challenge and insisted that he is not a sore loser and simply wanted a fair shot.
“From the first day I already had the food prepared for the week,” he said. a current affair.
“I told everyone that I was going to win the challenge and from day one I set out to win it and I spent every hour of the day preparing food, training, going to bed at 8:30 at night and getting up at 3:30 in the morning.
“By the end I was eating, sleeping, breathing the competition.”
