Fitness Challenge Overview

Purpose

While Fitness Challenge is a competition, we want to emphasize how you can challenge yourself towards building healthy habits, and lean into the community-building that Ascent values so much! Fitness Challenge has been revamped this year to include progression-based challenges throughout all categories so you can track your progress, work toward attainable fitness and wellness goals, and build community.

Objective

Score as many points as you can by completing unique challenges across five categories: Indoor Climbing; Yoga & Strength Training; Cardio; Outdoor Climbing & Adventure; and Community, Culture, & Care. You will take your results with you each Season to keep building on your previous accomplishments.

Structure

Fitness Challenge has been broken into three seasons for 2025:

• Spring: April - June
• Summer: July - September
• Fall: October - December

Each Season you will get a list of Baseline, Habit Builder, and Seasonal challenges. Baseline and Habit Builder challenges will repeat each season, so you have the ability to track your progress, train to improve upon your personal fitness and wellness goals, and build healthy habits. Each season will also contain "seasonal" challenges that will change every three months. This is where you'll find some of the more "out of the box" challenges, large outdoor adventures, and specific challenges associated with happenings at Ascent and in the larger Fort Collins' community.

You are able to sign up for Fitness Challenge seasonally, or for the full year upfront! If at any point during the year, you start off with a single season and want to switch to the full year, you are welcome to do so and get the full year discount rate!
