The Open season is here, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring our community together and celebrate our fitness! 💪
What is Squadapalooza?
It is an opportunity to test your fitness and have some fun alongside your fellow members by completing one workout a week for 4 Weeks. We will release the workout on Thursday and then you can join us for Friday Night lights at 5pm on each friday to complete it with the option to also do the workout in our regular large group classes on Monday as well.
The competition is both individual and a team competition but don’t worry it is a GMCF style friendly competition with prizes for performance and also spirit. Each week you will choose the most challenging version of the workout that you can safely complete to be included in your team’s score. Your GMCF coaches will provide you those workout options and help you navigate your own challenge.
Here’s How It Works:
1️⃣ Register Now: Once you sign up, your name will be added to a pool of athletes.
2️⃣ Team Draft: On Monday, February 17th, your coaches will live-stream the draft and randomly assign you to a team with a captain to guide and cheer you on.
3️⃣ Friday Night Lights (February 28th – March 21st):
Every Friday night, workouts will kick off at 5:30 PM and the gym transforms into a competition hub! Individual athletes will compete in heats. Be ready to cheer for your teammates, and throughout the evening earn points for attendance, teamwork, spirit, and performance. Scores will be collected by GMCF coaches after your workout.
4️⃣ Weekly Routine:
Thursday: Workouts announced with a demo, tips, and strategies.
Friday: All athletes are encouraged to join Friday Night Lights event (see above), however it’s definitely not a requirement to participate.
Monday: The Open workout will be programmed in our large group classes to give everyone a chance to complete the workout.

5️⃣ Final Event: Friday, March 21st at 5 PM, join us for the GMCF Bonus Event, a team workout, potluck, and awards celebration.
