TEAM 56-Day Challenges

200 Points per Category

Each member of the team will be required to complete one of the four categories by the end of the challenge.  Members will decide these upon sign-up, and they cannot be changed.  200 points will be awarded to the team for each completed category.

# 1.  DAILY MOVEMENT – 10,000 STEPS PER DAY

Steps can be tracked any way you’d like as long as there is proof it was completed daily.  Examples include sport/smart watches, any type of pedometer, Fitbits, etc.  If your tracking device only records smaller date ranges and/or doesn’t have digital reporting capabilities, it is up to you to screenshot/print reports or photograph the device with proof of date (next to a dated newspaper for example) once the goal is achieved.  As long as it can be proven DAILY points will be given. 

We encourage you to test your device/recordings prior to day one of the challenge to ensure there are no issues with your plan.

# 2.  NUTRITION – FOOD JOURNAL 56 DAYS STRAIGHT

At the end of the challenge, members in this category must show they have had a consistent daily food journal throughout the 8 weeks.  We prefer these documented in an app such as MyFitnessPal but will allow dated, handwritten journals too as we know some prefer this method.  Again, as long as it can be proven DAILY points will be given. 

# 3.  ENDURANCE – 100 MILES ON THE AIRDYNE

These challengers will be responsible for putting in some work on the bike.  Miles can be completed in-house at any time and in any sequence.  As long as 100 miles are completed within the 56 days, points will be awarded to the team.  

There will be a folder in the lobby filing cabinet with a record sheet for each member in this category.  You must date it, record the miles and have a coach see your results and sign off to receive credit.

# 4.  STRENGTH – FIGHTER PULL UP PROGRAM

This is a 32-Day Program to increase strength and improve your chin ups and pull ups. You will follow the rep count and # of rounds listed for each day. This challenge should be completed by members who average 4 TFL sessions per week since all 32 days must be completed within the 8 week challenge.  You can expect these extra reps to take 10-15 minutes post-workout, and reps can be performed at any skill level as long as they are completed.

Like the Airdyne challenge, there will be a folder in the lobby filing cabinet with a record sheet for each member in this category.  You will follow the rep count and rounds listed for that day, and have a coach confirm and sign off to receive credit.  


6 Physical Challenges

Points based on overall standings of each challenge

There will be a total of 6 physical challenges completed by all members of each team over the 8 weeks.  Some challenges will be relay style, and some can be completed individually.

BE STRATEGIC  >>

  • Teams can choose any of the 6 challenges in any order they’d like but may only complete one challenge pertraining week.

    • Training weeks are Monday – Sunday, beginning June 28th

  • The 4 relay challenges must be completed when all members of the team are present.

    • If there is a known injury preventing a teammate from completing any challenge, another member of the team may do a double leg.  Outside substitutes will not be allowed.  These injuries must be recent or chronic and the need for the change must be approved by a coach.

  • Coed Teams – appropriate weights will be set up for each round based on the male/female performing specific legs, and we will be sure to account for change of position, adding plates, etc.

  • The weeks and challenges are detailed to ensure each team has what they need to establish a plan and strategize.  

    • Keep vacations in mind when deciding on a plan, substitutes will not be allowed in this case.

    • Some of the events call for strategy, figure out who is best for what to earn the most points.

  • Results of each challenge will place teams in order to scale points from greatest to least.

  • All challenges must be completed POST-WORKOUT, so schedule sessions accordingly.

BE STRATEGIC — Points are multiplied based on how heavy the category. 
For example, 15 Reps in the lightest category scores the same as 5 reps in the medium.  Discuss with your team to achieve the highest score possible!

# of Reps x 4 Points

MEDIUM  Men @ 265  /  Ladies @ 205
# of Reps x 3 Points

# of Reps x 1 Point

Each member of the team will perform one suicide as fast as possible, and the fastest 3 of the 4 times will be averaged for a final team time.  Final team scores will be placed in order from fastest to slowest and scaled points based on where your team places will be awarded like all other challenges.

Member of the Month - February 2017

AARON BAJGIER

MEMBER SINCE AUGUST 2016

Aaron came to us with a unique story and very specific goal: to get back to playing hockey after some unwanted time away from his favorite sport.  2 years prior to training with TFL, Aaron was spending the holiday season in a hospital bed after a surgery to remove a tumor from his brain.  This caused a setback in his hockey training, and decrease in his appetite and strength.

From day one, Aaron was one of the most polite and mature 12 year olds our coaching team has worked with.  His perseverance inspires our coaches as well as the other members in Aaron’s group – even “the bald guy that took his bar.”  This young man never misses a session, has drastically improved his strength and coordination, and has begun to work up a healthy appetite again.  We are also thrilled to say Aaron conquered his main goal, and just wrapped up his first full season back on the ice.

Aaron is constantly following our TFL Instagram page and commenting on our coaches’ workouts.  He has told us countless times how much he enjoys being here each week, but what he doesn’t realize is how inspiring he is to our team.  We’re so honored to be a part of his young athletic life.  It’s been a pleasure to watch Aaron get stronger week after week and we look forward to continuing to see him grow.

A special shoutout to Bob Authier - “The bald guy who stole Aaron’s bar.”
