Hi Team. Welcome back to Fort Fridays where we tell you about what's going on in our gyms and with our community. Lots of things to talk about now that Summer has come to a close so let's get right to it.
Underdawgs - Our Children's Program
We are happy to announce the return of our children's strength and conditioning program, the Underdawgs.
If your child is interested in engaging in exercise and training program or are looking for a program that will enhance their sports performance, the Underdawgs utilize all the core principles we believe in at The Fort (strength training, conditioning, skill development, progressive programming, coaching and fun) in an age appropriate setting for kid's from 11 to 16.
The Underdawgs sessions are run by Coach Edgar and will occur in the Engine Room on Wednesdays and Fridays at 4PM for one hour per session. Our Fall cohort will run for 12 weeks and you can choose a twice per week option (up to 24 sessions) for $1200 or a once-per-week at $720 (up to 12 sessions).
Sessions begin next Wednesday, September 23 at 4PM in the Engine Room. If you are interested in enrolling your child or you have any questions simply respond to this email or reach out to our Flatiron team at flatiron@thefortnyc.com.
Space will be limited so please reach out with any interest.
Super HYROX is back!
We are also happy to announce the return of Super HYROX sessions in the Engine Room.
Super HYROX sessions are longer (90 minute) larger (up to 12 people) intense conditioning sessions aimed at improving your work capacity and specifically preparing you for a HYROX competition. You do not need a HYROX on the books to benefit from these sessions but we will be utilizing many of the movements and equipment found in HYROX.
We typically only offer these sessions after the announcement of the NYC Event but since we have so many people who travel and compete in multiple HYROX competitions throughout the year, we are happy to bring this back earlier this year.
Super HYROX sessions will begin on Wednesday, September 23rd at 5:30PM and can be found on the schedule at that time. We will ultimately be offering these sessions on Sundays as we have done in the past as well. But, for now, these are going to be held on Wednesday evenings.
Super HYROX sessions require their own session package. Again, you can reach out to Claire at flatiron@thefortnyc.com or respond to this email with any questions or to purchase.
Fort Fitness Scavenger Hunt
If you are looking for a fitness-based adventure on Sunday, September 27th then join us at 2PM under the arch at Washington Square Park for our first ever Fort Scavenger Hunt where teams of 4 will run to different parts of the City to complete tasks, score points and race to the finish line.
Total running is about 5-6 miles (with many breaks) and will be the most fun you've ever had in a pair of running shoes, guaranteed. Come with your own group of 4 (or come solo and we will put you in a group). Fun costumes are also encouraged.
This event is FREE and you can reach out to Jules at jules@thefortnyc.com or join our GroupMe (web.groupme.com) for more information on this and all future community events.
