The Pre-Christmas 21 Day Challenge winner is Kurt Koehler winning a cool $380. Coming in second is Cassie Christianson($110)  and Trevor Christianson($60) coming in third place. Congrats to you all and congratulations to everyone that participated. I think the biggest thing that the majority of participants took away from this challenge was the having to workout 17 of the 21 days at CFGB. If you want change you have to put in the time and time is the one excuse we all use to why we can’t do something. This challenge removes that excuse. I always tell people that the gym dictates your diet and vice versa. Most people get to the gym once or twice a week and eat healthy the same amount and wonder why they aren’t getting the results they wish for. I hear all the time that “I suck at Snatching” and “I’m just not getting better” and I usually reply no shit, I only see you in the gym once a week. To become good at anything requires repetition whether with your diet or with a certain movement. Kurt for example never really complained but usually showed up once or twice a week and kinda watched what he ate when he thought about it. With this challenge he decided early on that he wanted to win it, he actually told me he was going to kick my ass on day 4 or 5 of it. Sure enough he showed up, put the work in and even though over the years he has gotten better over these 3 weeks he made improvements like I’ve never witnessed from him before. He made more progress in 3 weeks then he did in 3 years all because he decided he was in it to win it. For 21 days he committed everything without excuses. For that I say well done Kurt!

This Saturday, New Year’s Eve we will have one class on Saturday at the gym at 8:15am and then we will be hosting the Beer Mile at 10am at the Soletski Residence located at 1906 Rainbow Ave. in West De Pere. The beer mile begins with participant drinking one 12oz beer and then running 400m, repeating this 3 more times. You are able to scale the mile with flavored mineral water such as Klarbrunn instead of beer. New Years Day we will be closed reopening for the year on Monday.
Here’s to the last Friday of 2016!
