They leveled up, and the most powerful part?

Every single one of them once wondered if they could do it at all. Busy schedules, low energy, old injuries, long breaks… they had all the same worries you do.

But they also had something else:
A program that met them exactly where they were.

And when adults finally see progress they can feel—
confidence comes back.
energy comes back.
you come back.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck… if you’re tired of wishing you had your old spark again… you don’t need motivation.

You need a plan that actually works.

CERTIFICATE DAY — Celebrating October's Level Ups! 🌟

Congratulations to all of the Contenders who leveled up in the month of October! We are proud of each of you for accomplishing your goals! 💪

This method categorizes individuals based on color-coded levels, from beginners to elite athletes, providing tailored workouts and clear progression pathways. ⭐

Each month, our attention is dedicated to two or three assessments with the goal of surpassing our prior achievements. This month the three assessments we focused on were Upper Body Pull, Rings, and Neurological and Core. Stay tuned for November! 🤩

Certificate Day takes place on the first Tuesday after our assessments, providing an opportunity to celebrate everyone’s achievements. If you leveled up and weren’t able to make it to class for Certificate Day, please let a coach know so we can ensure you receive your well-deserved certificate. It’s important to us that every achievement is recognized and celebrated. 😄

In Partners...
Buy-In: 30 Partial Wall Walks
Then, 3 Rounds:
💥 30 Synchro Alternating Hang Dumbbell Clean & Jerks (35/20 #)
🏃‍♀️ 200m Partner Run
⏱ 15-Minute Time Cap

💥 Stimulus & Flow:
This one’s a grind built for teamwork. The wall walks light the fire early, testing shoulder endurance and coordination before the real work begins. The synchro dumbbell clean & jerks demand rhythm, communication, and grit — capped off by a shared sprint that tests how well you and your partner can push together under fatigue.

At “3, 2, 1, GO!” the 30 wall walks will be You Go, I Go, splitting reps however partners choose. Once completed, partners move immediately into 3 rounds of 30 synchro alternating hang DB clean & jerks into the partner run.

🏁 Scoring:
Fastest total time to complete all work (or max reps if time capped).
⚠️ For every rep not completed, add 1 second to the time cap.

The 4th Annual Winter Olympics are heating up 🔥
December 8–12, 2025 — stay sharp, stay synchronized, and bring the storm. 🌨️

Let’s go, Contenders! 🏋️‍♂️💥
