That's with a corporate discount.  Only gym that makes sense from a logistics standpoint.

Fortunately, the $600 initiation fee gets waived.

Here is another thing to consider Grape - they take all your food away for the first 1/2 and there are no real breaks.  So sometimes it helps to get used to operating on low calories just to see what its like.

The goal is to make you feel as outside your comfort zone as possible.  Cold water, sleep deprivation, sand, awkward movements, slow frustrating carrying heavy ass awkward shit, etc etc.

No - lol 

But here is how it usually progresses - Roll call - PT TEST (4-5 hours w 12 miler) -  Welcome Party from Hell (4 hours or so) - team based movement for a 3-4 hours at decent pace.   Break and foot/feet/water/ check  - 15-30 min max.   Back in the water and beatdown (2-3 Hours) - more movement 3-4 hours but with buddy carries and logs and heavy ass shit - 2-3 more hours pt or beat down - etc


I'm telling you - it sucks!!!!   But its awesome too.

That puts the welcome party @ 2 a.m.

Awesome.

And it sounds like you really can't train for it in terms of total work/output.  Just have to rise to the occasion and deal.

Exactly.  But you need to be in great shape to be able to be on a position to rise to the occasion of that makes sense

Don't want to clog the lifting thread with decent into uber twinkdom.

First Stew Smith workout.   If this is how I feel after the 1st one, 7 weeks feels impossible.

10 min jog @ 6 mph

10 sets - 10 jumping jacks/10 pushups, no rest
50 pullups in as few sets as possible, "rest" between sets is equal to same number of pushups, dips, or abs x3  Had to use a band at the end.

Shoulder curl to press x 20

2 mile outdoor run in 14:40

Looks like my normal regimen of 6.5 hrs sleep and booze has to stop.......or just cut it down to a few days.  ;D

just this by itself is impressive..thats a whole workout for me ;D

Thanks andre.  I can tell you though, it has gotten easier - I've been able to do 10x  20 JJ and 20 squats without much issue.

why in the rain?....because it cools you down?..or because it just feels refreshing?

Just think it feels good.  I don't like road running very much, so anything that distracts from it helps - trails, rocks, rain, hills, etc...
