Prototype Open 25.3

The end of the 2025 Prototype Open is here, and this year’s competition has been a testament to the power of consistency. The effort from everyone—whether seasoned veterans or newcomers—made this Open truly special. This event has highlighted the strength of community, the importance of persistence, and how much we can achieve when we keep showing up and supporting one another. A huge thank you to everyone who participated! Keep reading for details about the last week and highlights.

The Challenge

This weeks challenge involved completing 30, 42, or 54 hand release push-ups for 1, 2, or 3 points, respectively. Alternatively, you could hold a plank to earn a maximum of two points for a 2 minute 30 second hold. It is clear that with hand release push-ups, there is no room for bad reps.

There was also a bonus challenge- the cold plunge! Can you believe this had the least attendance out of all challenges/workouts? If you could stay in the plunge for 3+ minutes your team received an extra 3 points. A lot of people braved the cold for their first time, shoutout to everyone who participated.

25.3 Workout

For Time (cap 20 minutes)


  • 5 Wall Walks
  • 50 calorie Row
  • 5 Wall Walks
  • 25 Deadlifts (225/155 lb)
  • 5 Wall Walks
  • 25 Cleans (135/85 lb)
  • 5 Wall Walks
  • 25 Snatches (95/65 lb)
  • 5 Wall Walks
  • 50 calorie Row


The pacing was crucial for this workout, ensuring the rowers didn’t burn you out too early. By the time the snatches came around, there was a sense of dread creeping in, and those final wall walks ended up feeling surprisingly tougher than the first set.


Big shoutout to DJ Gerry for keeping the vibes high during Friday Night Lights, helping us power through and finish the last workout strong!

The Results

Congratulations to Team Consistency on earning the most points during the 2025 Prototype Open! Shoutout to Lisa and Emily for being awesome captains, and great work to everyone on the team. I guess consistency really is key! On that note, take a look at two graphs below that show point distribution based off of 1) Participation, and 2) Performance. Hint: One matters more than the other!



While performance is important, it’s clear that participation was the deciding factor in the outcome of the scores. Showing up week after week not only boosts your team's chances but also helps build momentum. Consistency is key — just being there and putting in the effort makes all the difference. In the Prototype Open, it's not just about the wins, but about the commitment to keep showing up and doing your best every time. 

Final Standings

In the last week, Team Mindset overtook Team Rookie, moving into second place, with Friday Night Lights attendance giving them the edge in the end. Great job to everyone who participated. It was a first for many, and it's been awesome seeing everyone put in the effort and make it happen!



This year, we introduced the "Fittest Family" component, where family members could compete together as a family, but still be part of different overall teams. Scoring was based on the top 3 challenge scores from each family, with 1 point awarded for participation, up to 3 members. It was awesome to see families come together and compete, bonding over something productive and fun, and working together while challenging themselves. These experiences have a big impact, and create memorable moments for both kids/parents.


Damon was decked out in all orange, bringing unmistakable spirit to every moment, while Beth cheered everyone on and was a fantastic judge at Friday Night Lights. Emmet worked hard to complete all the workouts, pushing through every workout despite a knee injury. And shoutout to Nicole for being the top performer, crushing all the RX workouts with outstanding determination!

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.
