2025 Summer Sweat Challenge

Round 2 LET’S GO!

It’s time for our Summer Sweat Challenge! This challenge runs the from June 16th to July 27th.

Six whole weeks this time! Register for the challenge by filling out this questionnaire.

‍Rules:

- Every 5 objectives completed gets you a raffle entry. The first person to complete the summer sweat challenge automatically wins a prize.

- They can be done in any order, but starred items cannot be combined with other starred items in the same day. For example - you cannot get credit for both “Going to a 12pm Class” and “Going to a Boxing Basics Class” by going to Thursday 12pm Boxing Basics.

- You must CHOOSE one. So be strategic!

- Check in with an instructor if you intend on attempting one of double starred objectives on the list so they can demonstrate what is expected of you and see that you've completed it. These also can’t be combined with other starred (or double-starred) items.

- Let us know if you need variations on any of the exercises listed, but there will be no substitutes for objectives regarding attending a specific class time/type.

- There will be a large chart in the gym where the objectives and participants' names are listed. You MAY NOT write on this chart. This chart is for AWBC staff and instructors only. AWBC staff and instructors will initial your space in the chart when it has been completed.

‍Prizes:

- 1st to Finish EVERYTHING - $100 off next month of membership

- 3 Raffle Prizes to be Announced Soon!
