Wheel Bridge, which is no easy task as each wheel spins the moment you grab it. It’s time to finally finish the
course with the tap of a bell at the top of the Rope Climb. With each obstacle mastered, individuals will gain
confidence, strength, and a renewed sense of achievement. Do you have what it takes to conquer the course?
Whether you’re an experienced athlete or a fitness novice, this course offers an inclusive environment,
encouraging individuals to strive for personal improvement while fostering a sense of community and
camaraderie.
