Evolution Gym

Evolution Gym members are the best in the country and to test their mettle, fitness and tenacity we designed a 12 month challenge to find the best all round male and female athletes in the gym. Not only that it sets a personal challenge to everyone one of us to challenge ourselves to undertake events inside and outside our comfort zones. Not everyone can be a superhero but we can all learn new skills and be the best we can be in each event.

Each month we had a different challenge:

Jan Row

Feb Plank

Mar Bench your bodyweight

Apr Pull ups

May Mile Run

Jun Dips

Jul Handstand press-up

Aug Crucifix hold

Sep Viking Press bodyweight

Oct Press ups in one minute

Nov Leg press 1 minute

Dec Medley

Scores were calculated with 10 for a first place through to 1 point for 10th.

Each month we had a winner, but the collection of points was the goal so you didn't necessarily need to win to become the superhero but be consistent.

Our first winners were Adam Walker and Nichola Fuller in the row back in January 2017.

So after 12 months of gruelling events who were our SUPERHEROES?

Well the two athletes with the best all round ability and skills were:

LIZZIE HUTSON AND ADAM WALKER

Well done to our 2017 Superheroes!!!

Over the space of 2 days in April we did it. Team Evo conquered the Yorkshire Three Peaks. On the Saturday 23rd three members Matt, Brett and Suzanne strode out and in something over 8 hours completed the course. The day after a team of 12; Jon, Rachael, Emma, Hannah, Lizzie, Catherine, Nicky, Alex, Sam, Paul and support of Shaun and Chris took just about 12 hours. 

It snowed, it blew and it couldn’t stop us. Everyone had a personal battle at some point and all of us could not believe what we were achieving when we stopped from time to time to appreciate what we were doing. It was us against the hills and we did it. The walk was organised in aid of Alzheimers which is only too close to home for some who took part and others who donated generously to our cause. 

We would like to thank the walkers and the donators as without either group this would not have worked. In the final tally we raised over £1000 for the charity which is amazing.

Onward and upward for the next challenge.
