Speed Dating Updates

Hey Ya'll,

You have today and tomorrow to sign up for this weekend's "Speed Dating Competition."

All of the people who have taken the time to vote, either in person or on the website have decided to have the proceeds go towards some new gym equipment rather than a T-shirt and actually more than half the current registered athletes have voted!

This is super cool and in order to sweeten the pot and possibly increase participation I'll match every entry with an equal amount.  Right now we are at 11 participants @ $35 w/ and additional match of $385 = $770 for new equipment.

Let me know your thoughts on what we need for gear.  I know people are interested in a Rig.  We could do a single free standing station, similar to our power racks up front.  The continuous systems that attach to the wall won't work on our curved ceilings and false walls.  A continuous free standing system would take up to much room when our space is also used by martial artists and acrobats.

I have also heard an interest in padded box jump blocks.  I would be willing to try a couple and if they hold up purchasing more.  If there are other ideas, keep them coming!

Since we are not doing a T-shirt we are going to be doing a sticker with the same design to commemorate the event.

For those up not up to speed, here are the event details.
​Each workout is done with a random partner.  There will be a minimum of 30 min rest between workouts.  Scores are shared by both partners.  1st place = 1 pt, 2nd place = 2 pt.  The individual with the lowest total after 3 workouts is the winner.
