PFZ 2015! My dedication started when I did pull-ups for the entire 1:30 minutes while I delivered this promo! This is going to be so much fun on April 18! Fit Me Up peeps get ready to rep out some pull-ups for this huge ActivPrayer, I know how you'll bring it. Time to represent.
1. Kids and adult teams of 6: You'll sign up for a 30 minute slot and do as many team pull ups as you can. Team total wins. Assistance from green band is allowed.
2. Individual bodyweight competition for male and female, max reps for strict pullups, can be done on your first set so you can still participate with your team for 30 minutes after that. Must be video recorded and counted by trainer though, if you want to be entered into national leader board.
3. $20 minimum entry fee per participant, there will be other creative challenges/ways to raise more money!
Other gyms across the nation, here's how to participate with us:
1. Designate your time slots for pull-up competition on April 18. We are setting 6-10am a side.
2. We make fundraising super simple by using Razoo website. This way all money goes through them and directly to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, we don't have to funnel money around. It's real easy. You can direct your people to the PFZ Razoo site to donate. If you wanted to direct funds to your specific city's CF Chapter, then you would have to set up your own Razoo account.
3. We have participants email us their teams of 6 and sign up for their time slot.
4. We have each participant then bring in their receipt of entry fee donated on our Razoo site on the day of the event.
5. Team leaders use a tracking sheet to tally pull-ups on day of the event. We would give you that sheet to use.
6. We could also send you editable flyer so you can put your logo on it as you market around your area.
7. We could send you PFZ logo as well if you want to do tshirts too.
8. At the end of the day, we will have you post your results (Total Pull Ups per gym and Total Money Raised) on a soon to be determined site---either page or main site.
9. Once you know for sure that YOU'RE IN, email me at theo@fitmeupfitness.com and then I'll get you set up with our marketing director who will help you every step of the way.
PLEASE USE AS MUCH CREATIVITY AS YOU WANT TO MAKE THIS YOUR OWN UNIQUE Activprayer at your location. This is just the shell that we are using. At the end of the day the INTENTION from all of us is the same and mass PULL-UPS WILL BE DEDICATED TO ZOE and Cystic Fibrosis and donations and hearts will be raised!!

Pull Ups for Zoe reaches Los Angelas, CA. http://atlxtv.com/2013/04/01/pull-ups-for-a-purpose-chasing-a-world-record/ The 24/7 athletics and fitness tv channel ATLX just featured an awesome article about this journey. Can't believe my failed attempt is gaining so much recognition---or is it? This is why you have to rise up when called, without worrying about if you fail or not. Put yourself out there. People don't care about the accomplishment, they care about the effort that is given to serve something greater. The intention that Zoe has to create something more. The intention this community has to help her get there. The intention i have behind 4,000 pullups. You never know when someone is going to hear, see, or feel just what they needed to, at just the right time...because of something you did. Take a chance today. It's an absolute life-changer.

Paul Theodore recently attempted to break the world record for most pull-ups in 24 hours. Find out what fueled this man's fire to take on the lofty challenge.
