Why the Partner Division?

We've heard your feedback loud and clear. While the demand for participation in our challenge has never been higher, we understand that not everyone fits into the existing individual division categories. And here's the thing – I've always been a bit skeptical about adding another individual division, particularly an intermediate one.

But we also understand that many dedicated athletes out there are looking for their moment to shine, to test their mettle, and to experience the unique atmosphere of the Adirondack Fitness Challenge. That's why we're introducing the Partner Division – a way to include more athletes, foster teamwork, and add a new layer of strategy and camaraderie to the competition.

Partner Division STANDARDS

Our Partner Division is designed for same-sex pairs who are ready to push each other to new heights. While it will feature slightly fewer workouts than our individual divisions, don't be mistaken – it will test your endurance, strength, and teamwork.

Before signing up, we encourage potential participants to ensure they meet certain standards to make the most of their experience and compete safely. Here's where you'll need to assess your abilities:

5+ Unbroken Chest-to-Bar Pull-ups
10+ Unbroken Pull-ups
5+ Unbroken Toes-to-Bar
Double Unders
Wall-Balls (14/20)
Box Jumps (20/24)
Deadlifts for reps (185/275)
Cleans (125/185) (singles or touch and go)
Snatch (85/135) (singles or touch and go)
DB Snatch (35/50)

This division will be a bit less expensive than the individual ones, making it accessible to more athletes while maintaining the high-quality competition experience you've come to expect from us.

Why Team Up?

Competing with a partner changes the game. It's not just about your performance; it's about how well you communicate, strategize, and support each other. It’s about sharing the highs and lows, the successes, and the learning moments. This division is your opportunity to showcase the power of teamwork and mutual encouragement in achieving fitness goals.

Closing Thoughts

The introduction of the Partner Division is a testament to our commitment to community, inclusion, and innovation. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or new to the fitness challenge scene, there’s a place for you at the Adirondack Fitness Challenge. So find that trusted workout buddy, strategize your approach, and prepare to embark on a memorable journey of fitness, friendship, and fun.

We're here to celebrate every step of your journey, every drop of sweat, and every cheer shared between partners. Because in the end, it's not just about the weight on the bar or the time on the clock – it's about the shared experience, the new friendships forged, and the collective triumph over challenges.

See you in Lake Placid, NY!
