8 functional workout stations
The race stations include:
-
SkiErg
-
Sled Push

We Lead by Example
Our owners, Brittany Burnham and Joe Sykes, don't just stand on the sidelines—they compete year-round.
From HYROX races to strength events and endurance challenges, they consistently put themselves in the same position as the athletes they coach. They understand the nerves at the starting line, the discipline required in training, and the satisfaction of crossing the finish line because they're living it alongside our community.
Our coaching team embraces the same mindset. We believe the best coaches are lifelong athletes who continue to challenge themselves, refine their skills, and inspire others through action—not just words.
