JoyRide Studios began its five-week Joyride Joyfit challenge Wednesday.

JoyRide Studios provides indoor cycling classes and fitness instruction in Westport, Darien, Ridgefield and Wilton. The challenge involves members from participating JoyRide Studios around Connecticut compete to see who can lose the most weight.

Participants of the challenge must attend at least four workout classes per week at JoyRide Studios in Connecticut.

They also must follow food recipes given to them by registered dietitians.

Both a male and female winner will take home over $3,000 worth of prizes.

Registered dietitian Ilanit Blumenfeld says the challenge is a fun way to try a little bit of everything while losing weight in a community setting.
