Anytime Fitness Streamwood seeks warriors
A call for warriors goes out across the greater Chicago area from more than 30 Anytime Fitness clubs and more than 3,000 clubs across the globe. The Channahon Warrior Dash event is scheduled for Saturday, June 11. Anytime Fitness is the lead sponsor of Warrior Dash.
The Streamwood club is motivating warriors, both members and nonmembers to represent their Streamwood team at the local festival and inviting members and nonmembers to partake in it's free Warrior Boot Camp starting in May.
"The boot camp will include fun-infused exercises like tug-of-war, relay races, obstacle courses and circuit HIIT training" said Don Zorbas a master personal trainer at the Streamwood Anytime Fitness club.
The personal trainer led boot camp is free, but folks are encouraged to make a donation of $10 per session. Bootcamp proceeds will be donated to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
"We are all about helping folks push themselves just a little beyond their personal best. They soon find themselves doing things they never thought possible, said Janie Dziedzic, the owner of the Streamwood Anytime Fitness club. "As a result they gain improved health and are soon overcoming other personal obstacles."
Warrior Dash is the world's largest obstacle race series. The Channahon battleground is approximately 3.1 miles and features 12 world class obstacles.
"Its great fun; you climb over the great warrior wall, then slither under barbed wire in the mud and jump across fire," said Miguel Gomez, a member at Streamwood Anytime Fitness. "I recommend you bring a pair of old shoes, at the end of the event everyone throws them on top of a muddy shoe mountain."
The tag line at Streamwood Anytime Fitness is "Blood, Sweat and Beers," because those who finish earn a warrior medal, a fuzzy helmet, a warrior T-shirt and a celebratory beer at a warrior party with music and prizes.
Anytime Fitness has been a sponsor of the event for the past four years. With more than three million members and thousands of clubs nationwide, Anytime Fitness is the official fitness club of Warrior Dash.
