Rik Can’t Say No to This Fitness Challenge at Yakima Athletic Club

I've been nagging at Rik to get back into the gym ever since we finished our last fitness challenge at Yakima Athletic Club, but he always seems to have some lame excuse.

So when the chance to be a part of another group fitness challenge at YAC Fitness rolled around, I made sure Tanner hit him up live on the air. That way Rik couldn't say no!

"The Surge" is a six-week individual training challenge in a team setting. We are paired up with the same trainer as the last challenge -- Judah with two other returning team members. We had to go through the torture of beginning measurements with final measurements the week of July 25 -29.

We are scored on measurement improvements which include weight and body fat combined with a fitness test challenge.

The teams meet once a week, but we are strongly encouraged to attend other classes as well. Through out the 6 weeks our teams compete in various challenges with prizes.

I really like the team setting. It's supportive, fun and competitive. Our teams first competition was to come up with a team name along with a team photo.

Since it's four women and Rik, we came up with the team name Rik's Chicks and our team photo was inspired by Charlies Angels.
