Annual Tribe Fitness Challenge for Sets Hybrid Training

Sets Hybrid Training had their annual Tribe Fitness Challenge Saturday in Farmingdale as other people from different gyms competed also during this competition. It was a great turnout as Sets Anthony Kapasakis did a fantastic job hosting these events for everyone to join in. He planned everything in advance, so people knew ahead of time and Kapasakis picked the perfect locations for the Tribe Fitness challenge with it being held at a Girl Scout Camp in Farmingdale, New Jersey.

Tribe provided an opportunity for those to see how great they are.  The event was built to test your strength, endurance and mental toughness with eight grueling stations broken up with sprints in between.  One can compete in the open and elite single waves where one will take on this challenge all on their own or can register as doubles and take on this challenge with a partner and split every zone.  Doubles must complete the running together, but zones (exercises) can be split however ones see fit.

The obstacle course was set up in order with volunteers at every station helping out the participants. They had it organized with volunteers telling people where to go after finishing a station. People start off on the bike, then run a lap after each station for the singles and doubles. Singles were when one could go by oneself which happened in the morning and doubles, where the partners started in the afternoon. The obstacle course was tough, but a lot of people got it done in 30 minutes or more.

People usually ate something before this type of competition, so they had enough energy to keep people going. Some participants had their own strategy heading into tribe fitness as they stayed locked in throughout the event. Every station was spread out in different areas, so people didn't get confused on where to go.
