Challenge Overview
Ladies and gentlemen, gym enthusiasts, and those who just really enjoy a good laugh at the expense of their own suffering, we present to you the ultimate test of summer fitness and fortitude: the Summer Sizzle Burpee Challenge! Get ready to transform your beach body and make your sweat worthwhile because starting July 1st, 2024, we’re diving headfirst into a burpee bonanza that will leave you drenched, shredded, and possibly reconsidering your life choices.
For 27 grueling, yet gloriously transformative days, you'll progressively increase your burpee count, pushing yourself to new heights of fitness and determination. The goal? To conquer a high rep count of burpees by the end of the challenge and complete our grand finale: 150 burpees for time on July 27th, 2024. Whether you participate individually or form a team to share the pain, this challenge promises to provide nothing but fun!
How Can I Participate?
Every day, complete the prescribed number of burpees! That's it! These burpees can be any style and can be broken up any way you'd like throughout the duration of the day. As long as you complete the prescribed number by the end of the day, you did it! (Burpees performed in class count toward your daily total!) Each day you complete, log a score in the Members App to receive credit. Every participant who completes and logs a score for all 27 days will receive a sticker at the end and get entered into a raffle to win a nifty prize!
Why Burpees?
Because they’re the exercise we love to hate! Burpees work multiple muscle groups, improve cardiovascular endurance, and torch calories like nobody’s business. Plus, there’s something satisfying about throwing yourself on the ground and getting back up repeatedly.

Tips for Surviving the Summer Sizzle Burpee Challenge
- Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! - Think of yourself as a plant: without water, you'll wilt. Keep a bottle handy at all times.
- Listen to Your Body - Push yourself, but don’t ignore pain. A little soreness is normal; feeling like you're about to collapse is not.
- Team Up - Misery loves company. Plus, your teammates can cheer you on and commiserate over post-burpee soreness.
- Fuel Up - Eat balanced meals to keep your energy levels high. Protein, carbs, and fats are your friends.
- Stretch It Out - Don’t skip the cool-down stretches. Your muscles will thank you later.
