4. How to enter and enrollment pricing

Enrollment and payment are required. Participants may register online or in person, subject to availability. The enrollment fee purchases the fitness, assessment, coaching, facility-access, and accountability services included in the selected tier; it is not a wager or payment solely for a chance to win.

Enroll in Elite
Active Member discount condition. The $99 Active Member price is conditioned on maintaining an active Enova membership and attending Enova at least weekly throughout the Supernova event. If the participant’s membership becomes inactive or the participant stops attending on a weekly basis, Enova may reclassify the enrollment at the applicable higher non-member rate. Amounts already paid will be credited toward the amended rate, and Enova will provide notice of any additional balance before collecting it.

Optional team entry: $25 per participant, in addition to individual registration. Participants must purchase the team add-on to compete for team awards.

  • Required team size: Each team must contain exactly three independently enrolled participants. Groups of two will not be recognized as teams.
  • Need a teammate? Participants without a complete three-person team may compete individually or ask Enova for help being matched; placement cannot be guaranteed.
  • Teammate requests: Participants may request specific teammates. Requests will be strongly considered but cannot be guaranteed as Enova works to balance teams.
  • Scoring: The three members’ points are combined throughout the challenge. First, second, and third place are determined by the highest, next-highest, and third-highest accumulated team totals under the official Supernova scoring system.
  • Individual eligibility: Team members remain eligible for individual awards based solely on their own individual points.
  • Minimum participation: If too few teams are formed to conduct a meaningful team competition, Enova may forgo the team portion and reimburse all team-entry add-on fees.

Incomplete registration, failed payment, or failure to comply with the applicable enrollment requirements may result in rejection or disqualification.

5. Required enrollment forms

Enrollment is not complete until all applicable forms have been completed and accepted by Enova:

  • Supernova Participant Profile — required for every participant to provide goals, preferences, and starting-point information.
  • Supernova-Specific Waiver — required for every participant before kickoff.
  • Release Waiver — required for each adult participant.
  • Gym Terms and Agreement Form — required when applicable to the participant’s facility access. Enova may confirm that a current agreement already on file remains valid.
  • Parental Consent Waiver — relevant only if Enova separately permits a minor to participate in an authorized non-prize capacity. Prize-eligible competitors must be at least 18.

6. Official point system

View or download the official Supernova 2026 Rules & Points System (PDF).

Participants may earn up to 16 core points per scoring week: 5 workout points, 5 meal-logging points, 3 Weekly Meal Prep Photo points, and 3 Power Play points. There are no Spree bonuses. Official-event and body-composition points are additional.

Scoring week: Each scoring week begins Monday at 12:00 AM and ends Sunday at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. Weekly requirements and point limits reset at that time and continue to apply even when a participant completes more qualifying activity.

Qualifying workouts

A qualifying workout is a purposeful, structured session completed on the date logged. Workout-point days must be lifting sessions by default. To reach the five-point weekly target, a participant may replace up to two lifting days with qualifying cardio. Cardio is optional, and no more than two cardio days may earn workout points in one week. Sessions may include an Enova appointment, approved class, booked gym-access session, assigned MyPTHub workout, approved independent lifting or cardio session, run, cardio-machine workout, or another purposeful conditioning session. The official Lake Wintergreen Hike and Sleeping Giant Hike may qualify when designated as workout-eligible; no other hike is an official Supernova hike unless Enova amends these rules in writing.

  • Generally at least 30 minutes, unless an Enova trainer specifically assigns a shorter session.
  • Logged in MyPTHub on the day performed with meaningful details such as exercises, sets, repetitions, weights, distance, duration, or activity type.
  • Normal daily steps, chores, incidental movement, duplicate entries, or a preset workout marked complete without being performed do not qualify.

Enova appointments, approved classes, gym visits, and official events may be verified through attendance records. Independent workouts may be audited without advance notice. Supporting evidence may include an activity-tracker summary, cardio-machine summary, gym check-in, timestamped photo, completed exercise details, or other reasonable evidence accepted by Enova.

Complete meal-logging days, Meal Prep Photo, and Meal Checks

A daily meal-logging point rewards complete, mindful tracking. The full day’s entries should honestly reflect healthy, balanced eating. Participants must record everything consumed that day in MyPTHub, use portions and ingredients that reasonably reflect what was consumed, include at least one healthy, balanced meal, complete the log the same day, and avoid copying a preset meal unless it genuinely matches what was eaten. A participant may earn no more than 5 meal-logging points in one scoring week.

Weekly Meal Prep Photo: Once each scoring week, a participant may earn 3 points by submitting one qualifying Meal Prep Photo. It must show real meals—not a protein shake—and display several days of meal preparation together in one submission. If a participant cannot meal prep, the participant may instead submit qualifying photos showing three days’ worth of healthy meals during that scoring week. These 3 points are scored separately from the five available daily meal-logging points.

Enova may issue unannounced Meal Checks. When selected, the participant must photograph the next applicable meal before eating, include drinks, sauces, and sides, submit within the stated window (normally three hours), enter it accurately in MyPTHub, ensure the photo and log reasonably match, and demonstrate that the meal is healthy and balanced.

Body-composition scoring and prize eligibility

Initial and final InBody scans and required progress photographs are mandatory for prize eligibility. Scan completion itself does not earn points. Enova will calculate the favorable percentage change from each participant's initial baseline to final measurement for both Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM) gained and body-fat percentage reduced. SMM percentage gained is calculated as ((final SMM - initial SMM) / initial SMM) × 100. Body-fat percentage reduction is calculated as ((initial body-fat percentage - final body-fat percentage) / initial body-fat percentage) × 100. SMM change is scored at 4 points per 1% gained; body-fat change is scored at 1 point per 1% reduced. Enova will compare the two resulting point totals and award only the higher total. The two results are not combined. For example, a 3% body-fat reduction produces 3 points, while a 1% SMM gain produces 4 points; only the 4 SMM points are awarded.

Scans must occur at Enova during the published windows using designated equipment and the announced preparation protocol. Results can vary because of hydration, food, exercise, clothing, and other factors. Enova may require a repeat scan when a result appears unreliable or inconsistent with the protocol.

Provisional points, audits, and corrections

All points remain provisional until verified. Enova may review MyPTHub entries, community photos, preset-meal use, workout details, attendance, and other submitted evidence. Late, incomplete, inconsistent, unverifiable, duplicated, or fabricated entries may be denied or removed. When practicable, a participant may explain or correct an honest mistake before weekly scoring closes.

A participant unable to attend an official event may complete an Enova-approved substitute within one week when a substitute is offered. Substitutions are not automatic and must follow the announced requirements.

7. Winner selection, prizes, and recognition

After verification, the eligible participants with the three highest total point scores will place first, second, and third. If a tie-breaker is required, SMM lost or body fat gained may count as negative compensation when relevant. Enova will apply objective, verified competition results, make the final determination, and will not use a random drawing or chance-based method.

Previous Champion eligibility

One-event-cycle restriction: The immediately preceding year’s first-place Individual Champion may participate in the following year’s Supernova event but cannot earn an individual placement or individual prize during that event. This restriction does not apply to prior second- or third-place finishers and expires after one event cycle.
  • The previous champion may participate fully, accumulate points, and appear on the leaderboard as “Previous Champion - Team Eligible Only.”
  • If the previous champion’s point total would otherwise earn an individual placement or prize, that placement and prize pass to the next highest-scoring eligible participant.
  • The previous champion is excluded from individual-prize tie-breakers.
  • The previous champion may join an eligible three-person team. All qualifying points count toward the team total, with full eligibility for team awards and team tie-breakers.
  • To receive team-prize eligibility, the previous champion must pay for standard individual enrollment and separately purchase the optional Team Competition add-on. Individual enrollment covers the full event experience; the add-on provides team-prize eligibility.

Finisher recognition

  • Second-place team: A $75 Enova gift card for every eligible team member.
  • Third-place team: A $50 Enova gift card for every eligible team member.

Final team assignments will be published before the competition begins.

Potential winners will be notified in person and by email after final scoring. Eligibility, score, identity, and required tax information must be verified before a winner is confirmed. Prizes are non-transferable. Enova may substitute a non-cash prize with one of equal or greater value if it becomes unavailable. Winners are responsible for applicable federal, state, and local taxes; Enova will follow applicable reporting requirements.

All registered participants receive a 10% discount on eligible supplement purchases during the competition, subject to availability and any announced exclusions.

8. Health, safety, privacy, and publicity

Health and safety

Supernova involves physical exercise, nutritional tracking, outdoor activities, and body-composition assessment. These activities involve risks, including strains, falls, illness, changes in blood sugar or blood pressure, and other injuries or medical complications. Participants should consult a qualified healthcare professional before beginning, particularly if pregnant, using medication, injured, or managing a cardiovascular, metabolic, orthopedic, eating-related, or other health concern.

Enova’s coaching, nutrition education, scoring, and InBody assessments are not medical diagnosis or treatment and do not replace professional medical care. Participants should stop activity and seek appropriate assistance if they experience concerning symptoms.

Privacy

Enova may collect contact information, attendance, workout and nutrition logs, photographs, InBody results, and other information reasonably necessary for coaching, safety, scoring, verification, dispute resolution, and prize administration. Third-party platforms may have separate privacy terms.

Publicity

Enova may announce a verified winner’s name, placement, team, and prize to report competition results. Broader advertising use of a participant’s likeness, testimonial, progress photographs, body-composition results, or transformation story requires separate authorization unless otherwise permitted by law. Declining optional promotional authorization will not affect eligibility.
