Here’s what the winner of last Spring’s 30-day Exercise & Weight Loss Challenge (who also happens to be an E List reader!) had to say:

“Kudos to Privé Swiss! The Exercise & Weight Loss Challenge was a winning combination for me. The nutrition/elimination diet component is truly transformational. Unlike South Beach, Paleo and other diets I’ve tried this approach really changed my relationship with food and with my body. I still follow it at least 80% of the time or more. The exercise classes are absolutely fantastic! At the start of the challenge, I signed up for and did as many classes that my schedule could handle — everything from Barefoot Bands, Body Sculpt & Burn to Cardio Barre and Yoga. The instructors and staff are all friendly and supportive. The all-level classes focus on balance, coordination, conditioning and strength training in different ways. I lost 10 pounds and over 6% of my starting weight, most surprising to me were the inches I lost from my waist, hips, arms, chest/back and thighs. And I’ve kept it off for more than two months!”
