Get ready to battle it out on the gym floor with a brand new ANYGAMES fitness challenge on Saturday 21 March.

Active North Yorkshire members are invited to take on the functional fitness challenge across Harrogate, Knaresborough and Ripon Active North Yorkshire sites. 

This is a free event open to all members and their friends. It offers a mix of endurance and strength based stations delivered on the gym floors at each participating site. You can enter the challenge either individually or as a pair (even if your partner is not an Active North Yorkshire member).

  • 10 minutes row
  • 5 minutes ski erg
  • 5 minutes wall balls
  • 5 minutes burpees

There is 2 minutes recovery between sets.

Participants can enter as singles or doubles. If entering as a double, the challenge will be completed in an ‘I-go-you-go’ format and only one person can be moving at any time.

Treadmill, bike, rower
