On February 1st, 2021 we launched our first online competition, known as the HWMF Transformation Challenge. The HWMF Transformation Challenge ran for a total of eight weeks. Each week, participants had to submit progress pictures online with corresponding check-in cards. The participants' photos would then be reviewed, organized, and placed into separate folders. This process allowed us to fairly assess their transformations over the course of eight weeks.
Although we didn’t offer any formal workout routines, diet plans, or coaching, we did provide continuous support throughout the entire challenge through various platforms. For example, participants got exclusive access to the HWMF Transformation Challenge Facebook Group where they could interact with other participants, share their stories, ask questions, and get advice.
Participants were also encouraged to attend weekly webinars that covered various topics, including supplements, training, motivation, social media, nutrition, etc. From the start, our goal was to provide as much value as possible, so the participants would feel empowered to continue progressing.
At the end of the eight weeks, our plan was to give away a total of $25,000 in cash prizes and pick three winners:
After looking at pictures for ~2 weeks and filtering through some insane transformations, we finally decided on who would take home the grand prize for each category.
So in this blog, we wanted to take a moment and introduce you to those three people that stood out amongst the rest. However, we just wanted to emphasize that this was not an easy decision and various people were involved in the final decision making process.
Without further ado, let’s meet the three winners of the 2021 HWMF Transformation Challenge!

Initially, our plan was to only pick three winners and give out $25,000. But, after looking at so many mind-blowing transformations, we couldn’t just award three winners…
In addition to the $25,000, we awarded $2,000 each to the 2nd place finishers of the male and female body transformation. We also awarded $1,000 each to the 3rd place finishers of the male and female body transformation. Lastly, we awarded $1,000 to the most shredded female.
Here’s a list of those who didn't win the overall prize, but definitely deserve an honorable mention:
Although we were confident that the HWMF Transformation Challenge was going to be a massive success, we had no idea that it would change so many lives, including our own and the way we do business moving forward.
Our goal with this challenge was simple — inspire others to get out of their comfort zone and push themselves to make some significant physical and mental changes. With $25,000 up for grabs and three opportunities to win, people gave it their all. In the end, we were shocked by the transformations that you hard-working M’fers were able to achieve in just eight weeks.
To close out this article and the 2021 HWMF Transformation Challenge, we want to thank each and every one of you for your participation and support. Because of hard-working M’fers like yourself, we are able to continue growing the brand, changing lives, and creating the highest-quality supplements on the market.
If you didn’t participate in this year's transformation challenge, be on the lookout for more to come in the near future. Axe & Sledge is dedicated to making the HWMF Transformation Challenge bigger and better each concurrent year. Until next time, keep putting in the work and remember that this transformation isn’t just for eight weeks, it’s for a lifetime.
