About the Competition

Congratulations to Yarixa "Yari" Ferrao - the 2008 Fitness Phenom grand prize winner!

After sweating it out through two grueling rounds and after battling it out with nearly 100 other contestants, Yari's compelling fitness routines and persuasive personality caused her to stand out from the crowd.

Coach Yari is all about hitting the core with compound movements - no pills or potions, tricks or gimmicks for the students of this Fitness Phenom.

Thanks to her own hard work and the opportunity being provided by Project Breakout, Yari Ferrao is about to realize her dream of reaching out to all those who aspire to look and feel better through fitness. That's right, Yari's next step will be to star in her very own Fitness DVD!

We'd also like to congratulate Steve Pfiester and Rob Elliott for taking second and third place, respectively. Thanks to all of our fabulous fitness contestants - we look forward to seeing your latest routines in our next competition.
