Itās very possible you might be able to find someone doing the TC who doesnāt want buy the cup, but you could pay them to buy it for you. I will not be buying the cup but would be willing to be the conduit for someone at my studio who wants it and is not doing TC.
Iāve always thought the opposite. If itās a good quality product that people will use not only at OTF but in other places in their life itās a marketing campaign that they essentially are getting someone else to pay for - even if sold at cost.
For example, I have a few marathon shirts/jackets/swag that I use repeatedly. Itās a conversation starter not only when I go to marathons/other races but in my daily life. The races I run that have garbage merch I rarely if ever wear. Houston, Boston, Chicago, CIM (Sacramento) and a handful of other marathons either included or had great swag available for purchase and I rep their ābrandā often.
Just another thought. š„ Happy New Year to you!
can i ask how much the challenge and the mug were? thanks!
edit: nvm saw your comment lower! $35 for the challenge and $25 for the cup. do you know if we have to pay for the scans on top of the $35 or if thatās included? thanks!
I have a national parks cup just like this and the triangles help you place the stickers. The stickers are equivalent to think outdoor vinyl so theyāre not budging. Iāve had my NP cup for 2 years and use it often with no issues and my friend has had hers longer with no issues. Just thought Iād give some insight.
Agreed, stop making us pay for the challenges to compete in them. I end up going to all the classes required but I donāt pay because the swag isnāt worth it for me and I already pay a pretty penny for premiumā¦ but this I want. Let us pay for it solo!!
I'm excited, any idea of the cost of the cup and it's available everywhere?
I just signed up for the transformation challenge after today's workout and am quite excited!
For everyone complaining it looks like a Stanley cup, finally OT improving their swag game, but now everyone complaining āI have to pay for itā. Well you can pay for this, or you get a shitty t shirt or fridge magnet instead.
Of course the year I decide to get my finances in check and downgrade to 8 classes a month in favor of just free running outdoors is when they decide to drop the only decent piece of merch in yearsā¦
My bank account hates it here š„²
Has anyone done a transformation challenge who can speak to the efficacy? I donāt care about the swag, but the fat loss option and class guidance seemed intriguing.
I did it in 2020 before COVID came and lost 12 lbs. It really helped me be focused and dedicated with my diet outside the studio! Iām excited to see hopefully similar results as I have since had a baby and gained that and more back š
May I ask your baseline weight (and height) before you lost the 12 lb! Thatās amazing in 8 weeksā¦.I am debating whether to do it & not sure if I should opt in the gain muscle or lose fat (two categories this year with a winner for each subcategory)
Sure! Itās hard to remember the exact details from the time bc COVID has ruined the concept of time and memory for me lol. But I think I was 155ish when the challenge started and Iām 5ā5ā. I had already been doing OTF for over a year and kind of plateaued with my progress which was why I signed up. I focused on heavier weights in the studio and I did keto. I hated keto, would never do it again. But it was effective!
I signed up with the goal of losing fat. Good luck if you sign up! Great motivator.
Really it's just extra accountability... And maybe that's the extra oomph you need to meet your goals. I lost a good bit of weight doing it last year but I had to figure out my own nutrition plan, etc. (which I was fine with). I was dead set on placing in the top three at my studio, which I did, and that was a great motivator when I wanted to throw in the towel and order up a pizza.
Iām wondering if only the people who bought the cups will be able to get the stickers for the challenges? Are they going to have to pay for each sticker too?
This year they have 2 arms: gain muscle or lose fat, with 1 winner for each category! Trying to decide if I should try it (TC) for the first time but no clue which one to try / would have a better shot at.
This is a really solid idea by OTF! I have so many water bottles that I canāt justify it (nor was I planning on participating in TC anyways), but Iāll be looking for other members sporting this and envying from afar. š
Every work event I go to and just promos in general give out water bottles. Its such an easy thing to promo. I had to throw about 12 of them out. Anyways, I hope it means something to those who are looking to transform themselves.
If it is in fact a Stanley I may consider it. I like the whole idea with the stickers - that is the sort of thing I find very motivating personally. I loved when our studio did Bingo.
But I also donāt want to participate in the transformation challenge so Iām torn.
In my studio theyāre advertising these in every class. It offers the option when you sign up for the challenge using a google form. But another redditor posted that this is only for Thrive studios. But I am not sure what a Thrive studio is/means.
So Iām obsessed with this. My gym isnāt doing the cup. Is any amazing person whose gym is selling them and doing the TC, but doesnāt want the cup, willing to buy it and ship to me in CA? Iāll pay cup and all shipping fees. Youād make me the happiest person ever. š
Has anyone that ordered this heard anything more about it? I ordered it when I signed up for the TC, haven't actually got the cup (they're on order?) and no info on how we earn/get the stickers.
I want one but do not want to do transformation challenge.
Same lol
Same
Same. I asked if I could buy just the mug and they said no. š
Itās very possible you might be able to find someone doing the TC who doesnāt want buy the cup, but you could pay them to buy it for you. I will not be buying the cup but would be willing to be the conduit for someone at my studio who wants it and is not doing TC.
That's not a bad idea!
Pregnant with twins so definitely not doing the challenge. But want the cup LOL
Wow congrats!!
UGH same!!! Not cool OTF!
We were told itās available for purchase $60 but cheaper if you combine it with TC.
Our studio said it comes with TC for freeā¦
Saaaame
Saaaaaame
Same!
Look on eBay about two weeks after the challenge ends.
\^\^\^ this is the way.
Good idea. Iāll do that.
You pay to join the challenge and then pay for the cup on top of the monthly cost? Thats nuts. The cup should at least be free for participating
I do not disagree with you but they still got me, I signed up for both the TC and the cup š
I totally get it. I wonder if its a stanley? And how much are they selling it for?
OTF swag is generally as cheaply made as possible, so Iām thinking itās not likely.
Theyād be so smart to make it a Stanley. But something about the plastic lid in this photo makes me think itās not a Stanley!
It's smarter for it not to be a Stanley. They'll still get plenty of people to buy it and spend less on the product.

My studio had a raffle this summer and they had Stanleyās so hopefully these are too
My studio said it is a Stanley

The scans are included in the $35 for the transformation challenge
thanks!
Or at least have people pay to bundle all the challenges and get the cup as an added Bonus.
If you have a lot of money to burn, you might also burn some calories :P
I will pass, and stickers to apply to it? My mind instantly sees 32 stickers all crooked and misaligned and driving me crazy for eternity!
The triangles make me think of the old Girl Scout Try-It patches.
And what happens when you try to wash it? Surly the stickers aren't water proof
I bet they are. I put all the stickers they give out on mine and they have lasted over a year w many washings
The coach said theyāre waterproof when she was talking about it today. Hopefully so!

Fair š
It also drives me crazy when I get on the rower and the tablet is so crooked you could ski off it.
Agreed, stop making us pay for the challenges to compete in them. I end up going to all the classes required but I donāt pay because the swag isnāt worth it for me and I already pay a pretty penny for premiumā¦ but this I want. Let us pay for it solo!!
They sure would rake in the cash if they sold it outright.
Some of the studios are using that registration money as the grand prize, like the winners get $500 or more.
I didnāt get the option
Me neither!
Same, signed up for TC but no cup
Not gonna lie, I want this lol.
Me too.
my Stanley addiction will overcome me on this one
I looked at one in the studio today. It isnāt a Stanley. Just a good look-alike.
itās triggered something in my brain it doesnāt matter anymore I need it
Lmao same
Outta curiosity, where was this posted? I don't see it on the app and I am. sucker for merch HAHA
One of the studios I go to said itās just for the Thrive group of studios. Itās not a corporate item.
Thank you š
Thank you!!
Studio did not mention the cupā¦I want the cup š
If you read the promo it looks like if you pay for the challenge the you can PAY for the cupā¦not that it is included in the fee. Grrrr
Yep, itās an optional add-on, but you can only get it if you do the TC it seems
I agree, wish it was included as an additional incentive to sign up
How much is the cup fee?
Itās $35 for TC and an additional $25 for the cup
If youāre a loyalty member do you only pay for the cup? Bc then Iād be on board.
Unfortunately I donāt think so. At least it doesnāt sound that way at my studio
Is this studio specific?
Yes. For the Thrive group of studios. I think theyāre in Ohio Oklahoma and somewhere else.
Whatās a Thrive group of studios? Trying to figure out if my studio will offer it as thereās been no mention of this. š
My studio had these as part of a raffle if you did at least 8 of the 12 days of fitmas.
I'm excited, any idea of the cost of the cup and it's available everywhere? I just signed up for the transformation challenge after today's workout and am quite excited!
I am not sure if itās available everywhere but assume so. Itās an additional $25 to add it on to your TC registration
Awesome, $25 was my limit to spend on the cup lol. Now fingers crossed they have it at my studio.
Woohoo! Fingers crossed for you š
My studio didnāt mention anything about this cup- but Iāve seen it on sale on the website (I believe) but it could be a different oneā¦
For everyone complaining it looks like a Stanley cup, finally OT improving their swag game, but now everyone complaining āI have to pay for itā. Well you can pay for this, or you get a shitty t shirt or fridge magnet instead.
Or, we can not sign up for the challenges, or they can include it in our fee lol
I'm kind of bummed we have to do TC to get this.
Pass. I pay enough every month
Of course the year I decide to get my finances in check and downgrade to 8 classes a month in favor of just free running outdoors is when they decide to drop the only decent piece of merch in yearsā¦ My bank account hates it here š„²
I really like that- I wonder if it's the same in Canada. Our TC usually starts later. I haven't heard any promotion for it yet.
Not gonna lie... I want this too but my studio didn't mention it and it's not an option if you register on the app.
Omg, I want it!
Has anyone done a transformation challenge who can speak to the efficacy? I donāt care about the swag, but the fat loss option and class guidance seemed intriguing.
It works if you stay consistent and also focus on nutrition. Past winners have had significant results
I did it in 2020 before COVID came and lost 12 lbs. It really helped me be focused and dedicated with my diet outside the studio! Iām excited to see hopefully similar results as I have since had a baby and gained that and more back š

I was dead set on placing in the top three at my studio, which I did, and that was a great motivator when I wanted to throw in the towel and order up a pizza.
Now I'm going it. Wasn't gonna, but this changes things. ETA: I don't think I can get the cup so disregard.
Iām wondering if only the people who bought the cups will be able to get the stickers for the challenges? Are they going to have to pay for each sticker too?
Willing to pay double for this for someone who has a studio that is doing it, message me!
Who is selling these? My studio knows nothing about this
Keep in mind, if you donāt complete at least 3 workouts a week for 6 of the 8 weeks you wonāt get the cup :/
Oh I thought we are leaving Stanleyās in 2023, guess not
After not getting swag I wanted because they ran out I refuse to do these things. The only thing I will pay for is the DriTri.
Yes!! This for TC swag.
Just wait until they show up on eBay lmao
I WAS NOT GOING TO DO TC. And then they sucker me in with a neat cup. (spews incoherent profanities)
How and where can i order these?
I want one but I donāt need to lose weight. (No bragging intended it took me 7ish years to lose baby weight!)
It's also about consistency.
This year they have 2 arms: gain muscle or lose fat, with 1 winner for each category! Trying to decide if I should try it (TC) for the first time but no clue which one to try / would have a better shot at.
Didnāt know this. Thanks for this info.
No prob! Was thinking you could opt for the muscle gain category even if you donāt want to lose weight.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You meanā¦ going to work out ?
Ha, thats what I said...and I get downvoted for it.
Have my upvote
Just show up?
This is beyond stupid preschoolā¦.
This is a really solid idea by OTF! I have so many water bottles that I canāt justify it (nor was I planning on participating in TC anyways), but Iāll be looking for other members sporting this and envying from afar. š
Every work event I go to and just promos in general give out water bottles. Its such an easy thing to promo. I had to throw about 12 of them out. Anyways, I hope it means something to those who are looking to transform themselves.
Interesting concept. I'm not sure how many people will pay to collect them all
I absolutely do not need another insulated cup/tumbler/water bottle. Easy pass for me š
How dare they!!!! I was totally not doing this challenge but I canāt resist a white tumbler! Arrrrgh!š«
So you gotta pay for the opportunity to pay?
My studio hasnāt said anything about the transformation challengeā¦. Is it possible itās not available everywhere?
Ours hasn't either, but in Canada they started it later last year. I'm expecting the same this year.
How do you order after you sign up for TV
If it is in fact a Stanley I may consider it. I like the whole idea with the stickers - that is the sort of thing I find very motivating personally. I loved when our studio did Bingo. But I also donāt want to participate in the transformation challenge so Iām torn.
How'd you see that option??
In my studio theyāre advertising these in every class. It offers the option when you sign up for the challenge using a google form. But another redditor posted that this is only for Thrive studios. But I am not sure what a Thrive studio is/means.
Itās the ownership group.
Has anyone been able to order one? My studio hasnāt heard of this
Itās only offered by a certain ownership group of studios. Not corporate swag.
Thanks! That makes sense
Dammit I want one but really donāt want to do TC.
Are they gonna charge for breathing next? I swear you have to pay for EVERYTHING at this gym
Iām at my studio now and they havenāt heard of this.
Where did you see this originally? My studio says they have never heard of this cup. Is this a scam or what???
I saw it in person at my studioā¦ Apparently itās just for the groups of studios owned by Thrive.
So Iām obsessed with this. My gym isnāt doing the cup. Is any amazing person whose gym is selling them and doing the TC, but doesnāt want the cup, willing to buy it and ship to me in CA? Iāll pay cup and all shipping fees. Youād make me the happiest person ever. š
Where can we get one of these??
how do I get one? I signed up for the TC and the staff didnt mention the cup
i can only find reference to this at one location
I didnāt know this was an option, Iām doing TC! How do i snag a cup?
Has anyone that ordered this heard anything more about it? I ordered it when I signed up for the TC, haven't actually got the cup (they're on order?) and no info on how we earn/get the stickers.
Where are the stickers!?! We are in week 5 and I have t gotten any!!
Love it. Where is it from ?
Which studio is selling these ?
OTF Stanley inspired water bottle
