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!

Congratulations to Natalie for being February's Prototype of the Month! Below, she shares his experience with Prototype, what drives her, and the goals that keep her motivated. 1.) Share your experience at Prototype. I have been at Prototype for a little over a year but started doing drop-in classes prior to that. Every time I dropped into class, I was welcomed and felt really at home, which prompted me to join after a 4 year Crossfit hiatus. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? I really love the camaraderie and the way everyone supports and encourages each other. The energy and joking of the 5am class is what motivates me to get up at the crack of dawn to workout each week. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? I am obsessed with traveling and travel planning! I really enjoy running and hiking, especially with friends. I also really love my job and furthering my education and career. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? Prototype has helped me to love Crossfit and working out in a group again. After a 4 year hiatus and working out by myself, I am really enjoying the way that the classes and people motivate me to work on my weaknesses and to push myself further than I would alone. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? I want to get back to doing pull-ups and toes to bar again without struggling and despising them so much. 6.) Favorite Quote Don’t just aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference. -Denzel Washington
