Prototype Open 24.3 recap

The last week of the 2024 Prototype Open came to a close and it was a huge success! During the past few weeks the entire gym came together to challenge themselves and their teammates, pushing each other beyond their comfort zones. The competition was intense, the energy was electric and everyone left here sweating! 

The final challenge of the open was max burpees to a plate in 2:30 minutes. The top finishers each earned 5 points for their team. Tommy Flynn, Mark Hardin and Jon Collette had the top scores for men. Kim Hardin, Nicole St. Pierre, Michelle Lamb and Nicole Croteau held the top scores for woman. Congratulations to everyone who completed the challenge and earned a point for their team.

The last WOD of the 2024 Open was extremely challenging like we all expected it to be. The workout consisted of 5 rounds of thrusters (95/65#) and chest to bar pull ups, followed by 1 minute rest, and then another 5 rounds of thrusters (135/95#) and bar muscle ups with a 15 minute time cap.

The last head to head at the end of the night during the last heat was intense. The energy in the gym was contagious, everyone was fired up. The 4 athletes brave enough to go to head to head on 24.3 were Mark DiRienzo representing the Red Team, Tim Welch representing Blue Team, Mike Collette representing Yellow Team and Jon Collette representing Green Team. As the athletes battled it out, each trying to outperform the others to gain the most points for their team, everyone in the gym cheered them on rooting for their team. It was a close competition but at the end Mike Collette came out victorious!

The highlight of the week was Friday Night Lights, where everyone came together to celebrate the end of the competition, the goals they accomplished and to enjoy food and drinks. Athletes, coaches, and judges all participated in the festivities all through the night. It was a great way to end the last week of the Open with lots of laughs, and surrounded by a great supportive community!

Kathy has been an amazing member of the PTS community for 12 years and an incredible part of our community. Here, she shares her journey with Prototype. Thank you for being you — you truly deserve to be our July POM! 1.) Share your experience at Prototype I love Prototype. I knew Mike and Brian from BSC and Mike approached me one day, saying that he thought I would really love a crossfit workout. Naturally, I thought he was out of his mind. I have loved every minute of my time for the past 12 years. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? The community. No matter what class I take, everyone is warm and welcoming. It isn’t always easy to walk into a new class, at Prototype that is never an issue for me. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? I love to travel. I enjoy hiking, walking, tennis and swimming. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? When I am at Prototype, I can block out the noise of the world around me and just breathe. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? My dad lived until 101.5 years old. He always did some form of exercise and it paid off for him. My goals are to continue to be active, get on the floor with my grandchildren and be able to get up. I really feel that exercising is akin to making a deposit for the future. There will come a time when I will have to make some withdrawals, and I want to have enough deposits to cover those withdrawals. 6.)
