24 Heroes in 24 Hours

Support Your Vet’s

A poster for 24 in 24 workouts in 24 hours.

Last year around Veteran’s Day, we participated in an event called TEAMWORK where we raised money for the Navy Seal Foundation by completing 24 Hero Workouts in 24 Hours. Every hour we honored a fallen Navy Seal that gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Honestly, I wasn’t sure if we were going to do this again this year because of COVID-19 and these uncertain times. But last Tuesday morning, after the 5 AM indoor class finished one of our members (you know who you are) came up to me and said “thank you, this is the most normal things have felt in a long time.”

Even though life isn’t back to what “normal” was 12 months ago, that statement really resonated with me. I thought, why can’t we do this? Why can’t we do something that was normal last year but in our new normal? I want you all to feel that same feeling again.

So I made a decision that we are going to do this.

It’s not going to be like it was, but we are going to get as close as possible keeping you all as safe as possible.

 

Here are the details:

  • The event will take place Saturday November 14th- Sunday, November 15th.
  • Each workout is a partner workout. You can have a team of 2, 3 or 4 to split the workout. Modifying and scaling the workout is encouraged.
  • We will have a LIVE INDOOR workout every hour on the hour from 10 am Saturday 11/14 to 10 am Sunday 11/15.
    • Due to the new guidelines by Governor Baker, we will be holding a LIVE INDOOR workout from 10am-9pm on Saturday and will resume the first LIVE INDOOR workout at 5AM on Sunday. The 9pm,10pm,11pm,12AM,1AM,2AM,3AM and 4AM workouts will be VIRTUAL ONLY.

  • We will also be running a continuous VIRTUAL option for every workout throughout the 24 hours.
  • There is a 4 workout cap. In order to regulate and prevent potential overuse injuries, we are capping the number of workouts you can do to 4. If you would like to do more than 4 workouts, please consult with a Prototype coach.
  • The LIVE INDOOR workouts will be capped at 10 people to limit the number working out at Prototype and to allow for easy clean up between workouts.
  • We are promoting an optional pledge/donation to The Fisher House. We are a community that has many veterans in various branches of the military. It’s important for us to get alignment and help as many people as possible! The Fisher House supports active and veteran military members and their families. They provide housing while loved ones are in the hospital. They also provide air miles so family members can visit injured service members. It’s an awesome organization and we hope you can support! The link to donate is here and also in the google sheet on a separate tab titled “PLEDGE AMOUNT” to sign up for 24 Heroes!
  • Use the link here to reserve your spot for a LIVE INDOOR class and/or to sign up for a Virtual spot. 
  • We also would like you to reserve your spot on WODIFY (7 days in advance)!

 

Lastly, I want you all to know that we greatly appreciate your participation in this. It not only means a lot to us and the community at Prototype, but it means a lot to those that you are honoring and helping by participating.

See you then!

Sharang is a standout part of the Prototype community—steady, positive, and always putting in the work—and his commitment to consistency, camaraderie, and long-term progress makes him a perfect example of what PTS is all about. Below he answers some questions and shares his experience. Share your experience at Prototype—favorite memories, moments, or stories or what’s your favorite part/what do you look forward to? What stands out most about Prototype is the camaraderie. The members, especially in the 7AM and Noon classes, create a great balance of fun and focus. Everyone is friendly and supportive, but when it’s time to work, people take the WODs seriously and push themselves to improve. That combination can be hard to find. All the coaches play a huge role in setting that tone. My favorite moments are the everyday ones i.e. showing up, putting in the work together, leaving class feeling accomplished. What I look forward to most is continuing to train alongside people who genuinely enjoy the process and want to get better. “Because summer’s coming.” Who at Prototype has made the biggest impact on you and why? As a dad of two young daughters, the people who’ve made the biggest impact on me at Prototype are the women in the gym. They all train with confidence, strength, consistency and set a powerful example. It’s the kind of environment I hope my daughters grow up seeing where strength is normal and earned. What are your hobbies and activities outside the gym? I dabble a bit in photography, star gazing and love to travel. Playing atrocious golf. How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? Prototype has helped me stay active. There’s a real sense of happiness and accomplishment after each workout, and that feeling has become addictive in the best way. Knowing I’ll leave class feeling stronger, physically and mentally, keeps me coming back. Prototype has turned working out from something I should do into something I genuinely want to do, which has made a huge difference in maintaining a sustainable fitness routine. What are your current fitness goals? Steady progress and longevity. If I can keep lifting, moving well, and feeling good years from now, I’ll consider that a win. I hope my future self will thank my present self. Favorite Quote If you can’t explain it simply you don't understand it well enough.
