Octobers Spooktacular Challenges

Normally in October, here at Better Gym Mere Green, we would run two different challenges: one themed and one regular challenge from the monthly challenge calendar. This year is going to be slightly different. Instead of having one themed and one unthemed challenge, both of our challenges this month will be spooky Halloween themed!

From the start of October, we are running the “Witch’s Little Helper” challenge, which involves members holding up a weighted, modified broomstick for a minimum of 10 seconds. All members will be allowed to choose their starting weight, but must hold the broomstick in line with their shoulders for the full 10 seconds. If you cannot hold it for the full amount of time, that will count as a failed attempt. If you succeed, you can use your other two attempts for the day to add little bits of weight and push for a higher score!

This challenge will go towards the regular challenge leaderboard for the year. However, later in the month, on the run-up to Halloween, the dreaded pumpkin will be back out! We aren’t disclosing the full challenge rules for this year’s pumpkin challenge just yet, but this challenge will come with its own prizes, and there can be multiple winners, meaning multiple opportunities to win some spooky treats.

With both of these challenges running us up to and into November, it also means we are nearly into the festive period! We will once again be running multiple themed challenges throughout December, but we want your help. Be sure to pass on all your ideas for Christmas-themed challenges so we can have them ready for the 12 Days of December Challenges!

Keep an eye out for more information, get involved, and most importantly, have some spooky fun while taking on this month’s challenges!
