We have assembled a strong team of athletes who will be training throughout the year in preparation for competition. Each of our team participants has committed to what will be a challenging and rigorous training regimen.
The Guerrilla Fitness Team is an invitation-only program. The first step for interested individuals to be invited onto the team, is that they must meet the following minimum standards in the opinion of the program coaches. They must demonstrate that:
- They are “coachable”
- They have a high level of athletic ability
- They are willing to invest a considerable amount of time and training (they must be on a 5x/week membership program)
- They set the example of what GF embodies through performance in class, a focus on proper movement, and exhibiting humility
- They are committed to continually working on and honing their skills, through being coached, watching videos & reading journal articles
In addition to the minimum standards listed above, potential candidates must successfully be able to achieve a minimum of 8 out of the 10 benchmarks listed below and at least 2 in each category. Benchmark standards are judged by the program coaches on both a qualitative and quantitative bias. If you feel that you can meet the minimum criteria and can devote the time to being part of this team, please contact [email protected]

I really think this is a great plan and I’m psyched to have membership at a box that has elite athletes training up. This program raises the bar for everyone. #olympic_spirit_GFstyle

I’m in, but got some work to do !!! This is awesome
Nice!! See u guys when I become a big girl! Awesome that the criteria is doable also!
HECTORRRRRRR!
this is one of my fav pics!!
I have 7 definite benchmarks. I’ll continue to work independently to achieve these goals. This is great to have available. Thanks for posting.
You’d have 8 right now if one of them was 100 inch box jump.
Ha!! Thanks Jodi…I’ll take it
So, is it October yet?
I NEED the barbell club in order to get to this level…
It’s awesome to see that blend of ability, experience, hunger, and humility to get there within our red starred cinder-blocked walls.
Cheers to the gang that makes the cut, let alone tries out for it.
Now I know what my goals should be. Here’s hoping I get there by year end.
