Event Description

OVERVIEW:

This unique fitness challenge was designed by 7 of the toughest, most badass coaches, from all different fitness backgrounds that include OCR, MMA, bodybuilding, endurance running and strength & conditioning, that all have the same desire in mind....changing as many lives as possible through fitness, all the while, giving back to the communities we live in!  Each vendor that we selected for the creation of the medals, trophy and even the shirts are local small businesses. When you register, you will also have the opportunity to donate and fundraise for our favorite local charities. 

The people we train are not our clients, they are our family. We created this with them in mind. This challenge is for teams from local gyms or affiliated with local coaches to come together in a show of strength. You are not showing up to just workout, you are showing up to THROWDOWN with other gyms/teams in a battle to see who is the best! 

Each coach has designed an event that will force the athletes to get out of their comfort zone, testing their strength, their sheer will, physical abilities, endurance, and mental fortitude. It's going to be a THROWDOWN like no other! 

We are looking for the BEST of the BEST! 
 

Athletes will need to be ready to perform anything thrown at them! There will be 7 head-to-head events over the course of the challenge, with a team event on the last day followed by a Coaches THROWDOWN where the athletes get to put the coaches to the test for money! All money raised will go to our local charities. Following that, we will have an Athlete celebration to present the awards and enjoy the nourishment from local food trucks and brew!

Each event will give the opportunity to earn points. The final team event will be worth double the points. In the end, the team with the most points will be the winner of the THROWDOWN. Teams will also earn points for raising money for the chosen charity for their gym/team. 

Prizes for the winning team include cash, unique handmade medals, a team trophy and other prizes. Not to mention - they will have complete bragging rights for a full year until the next year's event where they have the opportunity to face off to hold on to that title. There will be only one winner. 

Does your team have what it takes?? Let's Goooo!!
