Last night I subbed the Crunch Time class for another instructor. When I got to the room where the Gauntlet Training was wrapping up there were people everywhere doing Burpee's and some standing off to the side cheering the rest of them on.
There was already 2 minutes that had gone by and the bystanders had already given their all after a grueling hour long training to push themselves to the limit. There were about 10 people still pushing themselves, soon they had nothing left to give.
Then it came down to a husband and wife and another guy still doing their Burpee's ... over 3 minutes had gone by ... then the husband had given everything he had which left his wife and another guy still going at it. The crowd of people where cheering them on and finally after 4 minutes the trainer called time (I mean enough already...The Crunch Time class needed to start! ... just joking!)
Anyway, at 4 minutes this one man and this one woman were still belting out the Burpee's it was awesome!
The Gauntlet Training Program offered only at the BrickHouse is going to be expanding in order to provide additional avenues which participants can increase their endurance, challenge their bodies and their minds. Exciting things will be coming in the next few months! The men and women who regularly attend this training workout have made remarkable progress over the last few months and continue to make tremendous gains with their fitness.
I applaud everyone!!
Last night before the class started I had met a new member and I had suggested that she go in and try a few rounds. I was thrilled to see that she was still there at the end of class doing her Burpee's! Wow! She thanked me afterward for suggesting she go to the class, I was truly surprised that she did the entire class and even participated in the Burpee Challenge afterward. There are not too many people who make it through the entire class their first time let alone make it through a challenge at the end!
It's amazing what the human body is capable of...all you need to do is believe in yourself and not be afraid to try new things. I suspect that if she continues to come to this training workout on a regular basis she will be more than thrilled with the progress she sees in herself.
I love being at the BrickHouse to support everyone who comes in here doing something for themselves!
