Week 2 (Saturday, April 9th) Our goal is to reach 100 participants by week 2 or week 3. Weather depending, we beleive that we will have 100 individuals prticipating Saturday, April 9th.

We have spoken at length with Guinness in London. They have confirmed that we are on track with the structure of our circle training. They have also confirmed that they understand and support that our record attempt is not about the intensity of the workout but about the effort by each participant based on their individual ability. They have also expressed their understanding and agreement that some individuals, when necessary, will be able to take short 1 minute (to 2 min.)breaks during any activity when necessary. They have also explained that a key distinction between our record attempt for the largest circle training versus a military boot camp style workout, is that we incorporate activities within the workout such as Zumba or Yoga. With this in mind, we do plan on modifying some of our current stations and adding a 6th station which will be Zumba.
See you Saturday!
Week 1: Over 50 individuals participated under the guidance of 5 professional trainers. Each trainer supervised the activity at their respective station. Individuals were divided up into 5 teams and rotated through the 5 stations. It was announced that we will be attempting a Guinness Book World Record for the largest circle workout. The date will be set once we reach 100 participants at 10/10 In The Park. We are confident that, with a base of 100 active participants, we will be able to grow our number to reach the record level.
Starts Saturday, April 2nd at Centennial Park (108 Entrance)
On-Site Registration will be open by 7:15am
Meet the Trainers and Warm-up at 7:50am
Circle Workout from 8:00am to 9:00am
