Watch the BodyAge Battle Winner Video
Dave, Klint and Tyler all began the BodyAge Battle with the hopes of improving their health and lifestyle and the side affect would be lowering their BodyAge. After initial testing all three had BodyAges above their biological age and so they worked for two months with a personal trainer and nutritional consultant from Sport and Wellness.
After two hard months the three contestants in the MacEwan Sport and Wellness and Team 1260 BodyAge Battle all improved their BodyAges, but there can be only one winner who lowered it the most.
