2024 Challenge winners!
Starting in July we had the reaction stack challenge, while blindfolded, members had bags placed around their feet in a random order, when the timer started, they were required to place the bags in order from 2kg up to 20kg on to the plyobox, with the fastest time at the end of the month being the winner.
Juniors had a similar challenge but with numbered cones, once the cones were placed on the box, they were required to put them in order stacked on top of each other in the correct number order!
The winners for this month were Ben on the men’s side, one of our own staff members! On the women’s side it was Diva, both getting the time close to the 15 second mark!
August's challenge was named "Thors hammer" holding the straight grip bar with 1 arm, the member was required to lift as much weight straight from the floor as they could, looking like Thor’s hammer when a member eventually couldn’t move it!
Our winners for the month of August were Noah, again a staff member trying to push members to their limit and get the best out of them, a lot of men coming very close! On the women’s side Jen came in for her first challenge and completely smashed all the opposition!
Finally in September we had the WATT workout! this challenge was done on the assault bike, with the member aiming to go as fast as they can from the off, getting to 100 meters as fast as they could! Everyone getting so excited over this challenge we nearly broke the assault bike!
The winners for this challenge were Emma on the women’s side and Tom C on the men’s side, again with both members getting pushed to the final day of the month to get the highest scores in!
With 3 more months in the year, i will cover them in the next news article, in the meantime if you're around the gym and fancy yourself at one of the challenges, January we are running the Balance Bucket Toss! Standing on a Bosu you are trying to throw a Pilates ball into a large bin as many times in a row as you can, current top score on the men’s side is 53, while the women’s side is sat at 18! come and try for yourself!
