During their visits, each trainer led community fitness challenges (a one-mile race, a 500 step-up competition, etc.) in which three of the 21 contestants competed and the first two finishers received a spot at The Biggest Loser ranch. The third-place finishers then returned home and worked out on their own before they later received a second chance to compete at the ranch.
As in previous seasons, the contestant who has the highest weight-loss percentage at the end of the season will win a $250,000 grand prize.
