Make this the month that you remember, and make sure you set yourself up for success. Does it mean hitting the gym 5+ times a week, working with a coach 3+ times per week, or working directly with Pat Gilles through Online Coaching. It all works, but depends upon whether you like working with others, with a coach or with Pat Gilles in a very personalized way.
New equipment – the ATP is here! After the long wait – 12 weeks for it to be made for us by Westside Barbell, it’s arrived. Come in and try it!
We ordered the ATP machine to help us keep our athletes healthy and injury-free. It’s a great piece of equipment, it’s unique and very effective. It will help stimulate the glutes, the hip flexors, remove lower back pain, and much more. You’ve got to see it, and experience it. There is nothing that compares to it. Schedule an appointment with Pat or Roza Gilles and see what it’s like. It was worth the wait, and we thank Westside Barbell for creating such a great piece of equipment. It was definitely worth the 12 week wait!
Treat Yourself or Someone Special to Something Special – It’s that time of the year – a little cold and a bit of snow, means you need something special to keep you warm. And we have you covered! We recently got in special Pat’s Gym baseball hats and cropped hoodies. We didn’t get a lot of them, so come in today and get yours before they are gone. They make for great gifts for that someone special in your life, or give to yourself. It would make a great gift for the holidays. Come get them before they are gone.

The November Monthly Challenge – Each year, Pat’s Gym participates in the Concept2 World Competition SkiErg for the 1000m race for the best time. In the past, Pat’s Gym has had our athletes place as winners of this competition. With our focus on aerobic capacity, and mental toughness, I am confident that our athletes will place well in this competition again. By “placing,” I mean our athletes have held the Concept2 Ski Sprints World title. That’s quite an accomplishment and we’re so proud of them. I highly recommend that you give the SkiErg Competition a try. You will be amazed at what you can accomplish, when the pressure is on, and you put your mind to it.
October Monthly Challenge – October’s Monthly Challenge was a fun one, and everyone could do it! It was one of those challenges that you could do throughout the month and see your improvement. Our athletes were surprised with their progress.
The October Challenge was:
Jump Rope:
- Coaches: Max double-unders in a row (two times around)
- Athletes: Max single jump rope revolutions in a row (one time around)
- The athletes with the most revolutions (counting was one time around for athletes and two times around for coaches) wins!
The winners of the Pat’s Gym September Monthly Challenge were Ross with 592 number of rotations, and Monica with 468 number of rotations. Great job!
