Pat’s Gym Monthly Challenges


Each Month at Pat’s Gym we have a Monthly Challenge which helps our athletes identify weaknesses and is a great way for our athletes to compete against one another. June’s Monthly Challenge is a fun one, and will take less than 15mins. May’s Monthly Challenge was a great way to start off the summer.

June Monthly Challenge – This challenge will test your power and determine how well you can control your mind. It requires efficiency and breathing control. Try it, and see where you can improve! June’s Monthly Challenge involves:

1-4min ladder burpee box jumps 20” box for women and a 24” box for men – the highest score wins and is based upon the total number of burpee box jumps you can do in the allotted time:

30sec off between sets of the ladder
Looks like this:
1min max burpee box jumps (need to get full extension at the top landing, standing up, or coming down)
30sec rest
2min max burpee box jumps
30sec rest
3min max burpee box jumps
30sec rest
4min max burpee box jumps

May Monthly Challenge – The May Monthly Challenge was a sprint triathlon using the Concept2 equipment. Each athlete had to complete 500m on the SkiErg, BikeErg, and the Concept2 Row. The winner of the sprint triathlon was the female and male athlete with the lowest time. We had a lot of impressive times, but the winners are Nick Balazs Dan Jagla with a time of 4:01 and Katie Hurtis with a time of 4:31. The participation was great, and we’re excited for the June Monthly Challenge.
