Mere Green Takes On Tough Mudder

Over the last weekend Better Gym Mere Green took a coach full of staff and members to complete the Tough Mudder course in grantham, the 6km course was covered in obsitcals to test your strength and your mental will. From a 45ft climb up and over a cargo net, to plunging yourself into 4 degree muddy water, the team went and completed the course in just under 3 hours!

The team were able to stick as a group as they got around most of the obsitcals, having scouts go out in front to check what was coming up next then working together to make sure every one of the group got through the obstical! Some obsticals included pushing eachother over 5ft tall posts or getting over 10ft tall muddy mounds, with mud so slippery you stood no chance of doing it on your own, the team having to boost one person to the top just to have them pull up the rest of the group!

Towards the end of the course were 2 of the really messy obsticals, "pitfall" which included going on your hands and knees through the water to avoid yourself falling into deep holes followed straight away by "the kiss of mud" where you are forced to crawl low under a barbed wire fence, through not just mud, but sticks and stones scattered around, this was one of the most mentally challenging obstiacls as there was no way for you to escape once you had started!

Be sure to keep an eye on the Better Gym Mere Green socials to catch up on all the photos and videos from the weekend! As well as this make sure to keep checking at reception for more events being run by the gym in the final few months of the year, we definitley have one more trick up our sleeves!
