MONTHLY CHALLENGES
January: Tire Challenge

Patrons are invited to come out to see who can flip a tire the most times in 90 seconds. Compete in categories for men and women. Each patron must ensure a fitness staff member verifies the number of times they flip the tire in 90 seconds. The man and woman with the most tire flips will be declared the winners. Winners will be announced and win a shirt.

February: Pull Ups

Compete for the chance to be named "Top Coog". Pull-ups require almost every muscle group in your upper body from your fingers to shoulders, back and core. Pull-up challenges are an all-in-one exercise and perfect for beginners or intermediate users. They give you sculpted shoulders, back and abs. Top scores will be posted throughout the month on the whiteboard and on social media. Winner names and pictures will be announced on social media and prizes will be awarded.

March: Battle Rope

Ropes can develop strength throughout the entire body through a variety of exercises that vary in coordination demands and intensity. Can you keep up with the beat? Slam the battle rope to the beat of the metronome for as long as you can. The person with the longest time will win a shirt.

April: Core Bag

One of the most versatile tools you’re probably not using, a core bag is great for when you want to work out but don’t want to spend all day working out. The Core bag is designed with handles and an optimum height off the floor, allowing you to mimic complex, compound movements like the Clean (Olympic Lift). How fast can you complete 15 back squats, 10 cleans, and 15 walking lunges with the core bags? Top scores will be posted throughout the month on the whiteboard and on social media. Winner names and pictures will be announced on social media and prizes will be awarded.
