The Commando Temple

That time that Eddie Hall and Brian Shaw came to our gym!

Hello you lovely lot!

We have a bit of a challenge that we'd love as many of you as possible to get on-board with!

Starting tomorrow at 8am Rob Blair and Alex Strâmbanu, supported by camera-man Jess Gooneh will be doing a test of gruelling proportions 😈

This is to support a cause set by a friend of ours in the US. Bud Jeffries lost his son in a motorcycle accident a couple of years ago, and his organs helped save the lives of multiple people ❤

In recognition of this, he does a lot of work to raise awareness of the importance of organ donation, and this is where our challenge comes in. We want as much exposure on social media as possible with the hashtags

Bud has set up a YouTube channel where the various people around the world, doing all sorts of different challenges will be aired. Find that below...

The guys will be working over 2 days to walk a distance of 100km and an elevation the height of Mt Elbrus (5642m). They will do this by doing hill repeats up 1 hill 😅😅

We'd like to encourage you to find a hill, start your recording devices and do as much as you can. We'd like photos/videos uploaded to Facebook/Instagram or sent onto us. Send us a screenshot of your distance and elevation, and we'll add it all together and see if we can reach the moon together 🤣🤣.

Suggested elevation goals could be:

The Shard 310m

The Burj Khalifa 828m

Mt Snowdon 1085m

Ben Nevis 1345m

1 Mile - Join the mile high club 😆

3 Peaks height (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon) - 3403m

Mont Blanc 4810m

Everest 8848m (you may end up finishing next week!)

If you'd rather have a calorie goal, let's go for either 2,500, 5,000 or 10,000 calories.

You can start anytime this weekend, but it would be great to have your distances/totals by the end of the weekend.

Lockdown can be a really tough time for all of our mental health, and we believe that this challenge could give you something really worthwhile to get behind. Get some fresh air, promote a great cause and bring a friend with you who may be struggling. You are legitimately allowed to exercise outdoors with 1 other person.

Hit us up with any questions...
