I've been a fitness coach for 20 years and I can't count how many times I've had women reach out to me for help with issues like these.
My answer to them is always the same.
I can't help you with the first part. No one can do the work for you.
But if you're looking for the right plan - one that has worked for thousands of other women just like you, that completely takes the guesswork out of getting in amazing shape …
It's a comprehensive, step-by-step plan that will guide you through the entire six weeks and lay out exactly what you should be doing in a format that's super-easy to follow - regardless of your age or experience level.
I'll tell you what to work out each day, what to eat for each meal (with plenty of options!), how much cardio to perform, advanced techniques to speed up your progress and more.
So by the end of the six weeks you'll be looking your best and feeling more confident in your body than you have in years!
Plus, you'll get coaching and support from me and the NW Fitness Team Trainers every day during the Challenge to help keep you accountable and motivated when things get tough!
Meaning you can follow along from anywhere, even with minimal equipment, and still see amazing results!

Think about how great it would feel to rock your favorite tank top without feeling self-conscious about how your arms look…
How excited you would be if you were able to fit into those pants again, the ones that have been sitting in your closet for the past few years (or longer) ..
And how amazing it would be to get stronger, have more energy and feel super-confident in yourself and your body!
My goal with all of my Challenges is to get you in the best possible shape you can be in and to help you reach the goals you set for yourself.
But more than that, my mission is to help you realize what you are truly capable of and unlock your potential for bigger and better things to come!
I'll share the tools and tricks I've learned during my 20 years as a fitness coach and four-time Figure Olympia World Champion to help you develop healthy habits and empower you to make lasting lifestyle changes that will stick with you long after the Challenge is over.
I know there are ton of other programs out there promising amazing results.
Maybe you've even tried a few of them, and maybe you've been underwhelmed by both the program offered and the results. And maybe that makes you hesitant to try another one.
I get it - getting your hopes up only to be let down time after time is extremely frustrating and demoralizing.
That's why I do my absolute best to go above and beyond every time I create one of my Challenges, to make sure my programs are head and shoulders above anything else you can find out there.
What makes me so confident in the quality of my Challenge programs? People exactly like YOU telling me how life-changing they are!
My Challenges have helped women of all ages and experience levels reach their fitness goals and discover what they're truly capable of. Check out some of them below - and don't be surprised to feel like
they do after just a few weeks!
And I’ve had a passion for working out since I was a teenager, when I made the jump from gymnastics - literally!
Fitness became my passion, then my life. For nearly 15 years, I competed in competitions all over the world, and won more than a dozen - including four IFBB Figure Olympia World titles and three IFBB Arnold Classic International championships!
Today, I’m a mom and business owner trying to balance everything I have going on in my life, while still working towards being the best version of myself – and helping others do the same.
My priorities have changed since I was a competitor, when I was laser-focused on being the absolute best I could be in that field. I understand the obligations that come along with having a family and full-time job now more than ever.
It’s why I continue to create Challenges that anyone could follow to get fitter, stronger and healthier – regardless of how much they have to juggle every day and how daunting it all may seem.
That’s what I’m most passionate about today - helping women of all ages, shapes and sizes realize what they are truly capable of, empower them to reach their goals and unlock the potential I know they have inside.
And wherever you may be in your life, I know I can help you, too, if you enter this Challenge and give it your all!

Here's one of biggest misconceptions most people have - that you need to work out for hours every day to see results.
That couldn't be further from the truth.
What you need is the right plan.
One that's designed specifically for your goals, but also challenges you to push past your limits while enjoying the process. Not one that leaves you feeling burned out or guilty about missed workouts after just a few short weeks.
The Buns & Guns Challenge training program is designed to help you make consistent, lasting progress, with workouts that all can be done in one hour or less.
Which means plenty of time for you to get to everything else on your plate, without feeling like you have to live in the gym in order to reach your goals.
There's a reason most diets fail after only a few weeks, before they even have a chance to get started.
Most are completely unrealistic to follow long enough to see results.
They'll have you starving yourself with absurdly low calories and leave you feeling constantly hungry, eating the same boring, bland foods every meal. Which will likely lead to bingeing or, eventually, abandoning the plan altogether.
But what's so great about the Buns & Guns nutrition plan, and why it's so different from anything else you've tried before.
It incorporates foods that you'll enjoy eating, with plenty of options and variety, including delicious recipes you can sprinkle in so you actually look forward to each meal!
I'll lay out exactly what you should eat for each meal and give you a ton of options for food swaps if you don't like something on the menu. It's a recipe for success, and it 's one of the main reasons so many women keep coming back to do my Challenges!
Another reason so many women are hooked on my Challenges?
The next-level support system, made up of your team of coaches and the incredible women in our private Facebook Group.
You'll be part of a vibrant family, in the trenches with inspiring, supportive, like-minded women who cheer each other on towards a united goal.
This is your tribe— a safe, non-judgmental, motivational space where you'll be able to share your victories (and your setbacks) and lean on others for the encouragement you need when things get tough.
This alone might be what helps you break through plateaus and crush this program!

No questions asked.
The Challenge begins on Monday, March 24, 2025.
Everyone starts on the same day, so the program will be available on Friday, March 21. This will give you enough time to look everything over, go grocery shopping and prepare your meals for Week 1 before the Challenge starts.
You will receive an email with a link to the program on Friday, March 21 with instructions for how to access the program. You will need to make sure you are logged in to your account to view the program.
No, you do not need to upload Before/After photos to follow the program. A large number of people don’t do this for my Challenges and they still see great results. However, you won’t be able to win any of the post-Challenge prizes if you don’t – so I hope you do!
You’ll be weight training four days a week, with an optional fifth workout, and doing cardio three days a week. Weight training workouts take about 45 minutes, while cardio sessions last around 30 minutes.
You do not have to join a gym to follow the program. We offer two different workout programs – Gym, At-Home Dumbbell Only workouts, so so you can follow along from anywhere!
Yes! We offer both Vegan and Non-Vegan meal plans. Both come with Food Exchange Lists that allow for a ton of substitutions if you don’t like something on the menu.
No, the program is a balance of carbohydrates, fats and proteins so it is not for someone looking to follow a ketogenic diet. However, you can apply to work with one of our coaches and receive a fully customized plan to help you reach your goals by emailing [email protected].
After the program launches on March 21, you will receive a link to the Challenge Forums. Nicole and our NW Fitness Team trainers will be on the forums every day during the Challenge to answer all your questions. For technical support, you can email [email protected].
Yes! You can follow the program from anywhere and still win the cash prizes. However, you will need a valid US mailing address to receive nPower Nutrition supplements.

If you sign up for The Challenge on or after March 21, the hashtag and instructions will be included in your Welcome email. You will have until March 26 to enter your photos and measurements to qualify for the post-Challenge prizes.
The email you use when entering will be automatically added to our Challenge email list. If you are not receiving emails, please check your Junk folder. If you are still not receiving emails, email us at [email protected].
