The Navy SEAL Fitness Challenge by Vision Quest
As part of the University Place Festival the new “Navy SEAL Fitness Challenge” is sponsored by Vision Quest Sports and Fitness.
Their certified and ex-military physical fitness trainers have years of experience and will put you through many of the same fitness tests that Navy SEALS use to demonstrate their abilities. The types of skills tested will vary, but you can expect to be challenged with strength, cardiovascular, agility, calisthenics, body weight exercises, dumbbell exercises, abdominal and core work, functional exercises and obstacles. This will be a fun, safe, challenging, and exciting experience no matter what your shape, size, age or ability!
Start times for different levels are approximate and subject to change (each session will last about 45 minutes):
Veteran (Advanced): 10am, 4pm
Seaman (Intermediate): 11am, 2pm, 5pm
Recruit (Fit Beginner): noon, 3pm, 6pm
Couples (Intermediate): 1pm
Minimum age for all levels: 15
Sign up early at the Vision Quest table in Cirque Park. Space is limited for each time.
Please plan your arrival to be in Cirque Park at least an hour early to check-in, verify start time, and to warm up.
