Heavy carries, grip burn, and post-race burgers. That's how we run a Gym OCR day.

What a day on the course. Huge shoutout to everyone who suited up, laced up, and took on our Gym OCR event.

From tackling wall climbs and heavy sled pushes to digging deep on the final lap, the grit on the gym floor was top tier.

The Race: Athletes pushed their limits through heavy carries, wall transitions, and fast-paced obstacles.

The Breakthroughs: First-time racers cleared obstacles they'd been dodging in open gym for months.

The After-Party: Once the timers stopped, we fired up the grill, unpacked the cold drinks, and spent the afternoon refueling and hanging out in the sun.

This facility is built on tough obstacles, but it’s carried by the community that shows up to support each other.

Labor Day means a Monday off, but it doesn't mean skipping the work this weekend.

We're taking Monday off to let our team and athletes rest up for Labor Day, but the floor is open all weekend long.

If you're training for an upcoming OCR, locking in a new laché distance, or just bringing the kids to burn off extra weekend energy, hit the gym during these windows:

Friday (Tonight): 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Saturday: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Sunday: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Monday (Labor Day): CLOSED

No reservations needed for open gym. Grab your chalk, bring clean indoor sneakers, and put in the work before the long weekend wraps up.

When life throws heavy obstacles your way, nobody should have to tackle the course alone.

​It’s far too easy for kids and adults to feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure where to turn when mental health struggles build up. Staying silent on the sidelines only makes those walls feel higher and harder to conquer.

​That’s why Coach Dylan stepped up to organize our 2nd Annual Ninja for Mental Health Fundraiser Competition this Saturday, August 8th! Coach Dylan sees every day how movement, proper lache technique, and relentless community encouragement give athletes the resilience to overcome challenges both on and off the course. Now, we're putting that energy toward a life-saving mission.

​Join Coach Dylan and the Ultimate Obstacles community this Saturday as we run the course for a purpose. 100% of all competitor registration fees go directly to The NAN Project to support youth mental health resources and su***de prevention right here in our local community.

Whether you're taking on the Warped Wall, mastering dynamic ring transfers, or cheering from the sidelines, every single run supports a young life.

​Event Details:
🗓️ Date: Saturday, August 8, 2026
💵 Entry Fee: $40 per competitor (100% donated directly to The NAN Project)
🔥 Divisions for All Skill Levels:
• Ages 6–9 @ 12:30 PM
• Ages 10–12 @ 2:00 PM
• Ages 13+ @ 3:30 PM

​Spectators are welcome! Come cheer on our runners, support Coach Dylan’s mission, and enter to win our 50/50 raffle and local business gift baskets.

​Let's move, challenge ourselves, and lift each other up.

Off the rigs and onto the mountain! ⛰️💪

Recently, a group of our Ninja Team members and staff traded the gym obstacles for the mountain trail and took on Mt Monadnock!

It was an incredible day of outdoor adventure, relentless encouragement, and building community outside the gym walls. For a few of our ninjas, this was their very first time scaling a mountain - and for everyone, reaching that summit was a huge accomplishment!

Overcoming obstacles is what we do every day, but doing it together with an incredible mountain backdrop made it extra special. Huge shoutout to everyone who made it to the top!

Check out some of our favorite moments from the hike below. 👇📸
