At Cr8 Fitness last week, our crew came together (both seasoned athletes and first-timers) to take on the 1000-metre challenge on the Concept2 SkiErg as part of the global SkiErg World Sprints event.
Why It Matters
The SkiErg World Sprints give us more than just a leaderboard. They offer:
- A measurable benchmark for performance across age groups. Concept2 Men's Results Concept2 Female Results
- A chance to push personal limits in a short, intense burst (1000 m is no joke!).
- A community moment: friends cheering, gym camaraderie, all focused on effort.
- A fun way to mark the start of winter training or get-ready for skiing season.
Congratulations to all participants — whether you nailed a PR or laid the groundwork for next year, you made it happen.
Stand-Out Moments
Huge shout-out to our top finishers for maintaining incredible pace and technique through the last 250 m where fatigue really kicked in.
Several competitors showed big improvements over their warm-up splits — proof that the atmosphere and competition helped bring out strong performances.
New members crushed it on their first SkiErg attempt. Seeing someone step up and give it a go is a highlight for me.
The after-race high-fives, and shared recovery moments made the race more than just about times — it was about community and effort.
Events like this are what make our gym more than just a place to train — they make it a community.
Keep Making It Happen,
Coach Nancy
