Think You Can’t Complete Our Obstacle Course?
Adam Says You’re Wrong
Adam should know: he competed in his first obstacle course race in 2010, and for the past 2 years, he qualified for and attended the Obstacle Course World Championships in Canada. He’s looking forward to competing in the race in England this year. On top of that, he’s a certified personal trainer. He and his co-coach, Austin, work together to help members reach their goals on the course.
But what about people with previous injuries or various fitness levels? Can the obstacle course really be an option for them?
Obstacle course racing — you may have heard of it in the form of a Spartan Race or a Tough Mudder mud run. A full body workout, completing an obstacle course requires strength, balance, and endurance to make it over, under, and through various hurdles. Think this type of workout isn’t for you? Think again. Adam Wolry is half of our two-person team of trainers who take members through the Fore Court obstacle course. He’s a firm believer that this workout, though challenging, is an option for anyone. “It doesn’t matter if you’re just there to lose weight, tone muscles, or prepare for your upcoming race — whatever you want to become better at or stronger with. It’s a full-body sport,” Adam says. “Obstacle course racing makes you stronger from a mental standpoint. To overcome all these obstacles, sometimes you have to will yourself through it.” Have a Laugh!
“Absolutely,” says Adam. “One of the reasons I became a trainer is because I had so many injuries myself that I’ve come back from. I want to share my knowledge with others. Everything can be scaled for someone’s needs and for whatever their capabilities are. We have people who are 60 coming on the course, and we actually open it up to kids, too. You just have to know how to scale things so that people can be successful. We can always find a way to do that. Right now, one of our members who has only one arm is going through the course, and he can get over the walls. There’s really no reason you can’t do it. There is no ‘I can’t.’ If you want to be successful, we’ll find a way to get you there.”
The obstacle course opens next month, so join Adam and Austin to see how far you can go!
