Attendance Challenge Winners

The attendance challenge has officially come to an end!  Over the past 62 days, members were challenged to get to the gym a total of 36 days (an average of 4 times per week) for workouts, yoga, mobility... whatever!  This wasn't as easy as it sounds, with all the end of summer vacations and busy back to school schedules, but 10 members managed to make it!

  1. Milissa Heusel
  2. Amy Farmer
  3. SuAnn Dycus
  4. Lori Thames
  5. Angie Nicholson
  6. Latoya Jackson
  7. Amie Akers
  8. Logan Cloessner
  9. Amy Crawford
  10. Tenesha Lain

Great job, guys!  What do they win, you ask?  Well, it isn't a chicken dinner.  But it IS a fancy-schmancy new tee shirt.  3/4 sleeve baseball style tees with a clever little gym saying, of course.  Winners, I'll need your sizes, and anyone else who would like to order one can do so!  There will be an order form at the gym... stay tuned.

Front of shirt says "Objects in shirt are stronger than they appear.  #KettlebellSwinger"  The Octane logo will be on the back, right below the neckline.  This is just a preliminary comp and may change based on shirt availability! &nb…

Pushups with upper body elevated on 16” box = 1/3 pt each

GOBLET SQUAT
Heels must stay in contact with floor, hips must drop below knees.  Knees and hips must lock out at top.  Students choose their weight and get as many QUALITY reps as possible in 1 min.  
12kg= 1.5 pt each / 16kg= 2 pt each / 20kg= 2.5 pt each / 24kg= 3 pt each / 32kg= 4 pt each

PULLUP
Strict, no kipping and no bands!  Elbows must be fully extended at bottom, and chin must go over the bar at the top.
For ring rows, torso and hips must remain straight, with shoulders, hips and ankles in a straight line.  Ring height is set at student’s belly button when standing (bottom of rings).
Pullups= 2 pt each*
Ring Rows = 1 pt each*
Ring Rows with bent knees = 1/2 pt each*
*notice that the point values have changed here!

News about Octane Memberships!

News about Octane Memberships!

Beginning September 1, we will be offering new memberships to simplify our system.  Keep in mind that if you are already on an autodrafting membership, nothing will change!  Only those who are purchasing one month at a time will see changes.  Here's the deal:  

All- Access Memberships

There will no longer be any commitment requirements for any of our memberships.  The cost of the monthly membership will be $120 (a $10 savings off of the current single month of membership), and payments can be made via checking account or credit card.  Attend an unlimited number of all classes offered at Octane.  These will be auto-drafted every month on the same date as original purchase, but can be cancelled anytime.  Just let us know at least 3 days before your next payment is due.

The 6 month commitment at $100/month will no longer be available!  If you want to get in on this before it's gone, be sure to sign up by August 31.  Once you fulfill your 6 month commitment, you can cancel or continue your membership indefinitely for $100.

The other option is a 10 class pack, which will still cost $130 and can be paid however you wish, since this is a one-time purchase.   

Yoga Memberships

Monthly memberships for yoga are $75, and will be auto-drafted each month.  Attend an unlimited number of yoga and PiYo classes.  Cancel anytime... just be sure to let us know at least 3 days before your next payment is due.  

10 class packs for yoga are still available for $80.  Drop-in classes are $8 and there will be one free yoga class per month on Sundays.
