Committed to living the Body by Vi Challenge^™ lifestyle, the competitors used ViSalus products as a key component in their preparation. The winners by category are:

"We had an overwhelming response to the Vi Model competition this year," said ViSalus Co-Founder and CMO Blake Mallen. "The community had fun voting and celebrating not just the winners, but also everyone who entered. Many of the participants would have never imagined being in such a contest a year ago, and it just goes to show how living The Challenge lifestyle allows you to be your best. The Challenge Magazine features real people with real results, but I'd put our Vi Models up against any fitness models in the world! The next step will be to integrate what we've learned into The Challenge platform in 2014."

After being crowned a winner, each took part in an once-in-a-lifetime photo shoot with acclaimed photographer, Mike Ruiz, who has appeared on numerous television shows, including American's Next Top Model. The exclusive prize package includes a contract with top fitness modeling agency, Silver Model Management. See all the winners at vi.com/vimodel.
