Yesterday marked the 8th year that BEFIT has held a charity bootcamp supporting the Langley Christmas Bureau.

As always each year I am humbled by your generosity, work ethic, and spirit.

Thanks to you we raised $1875. An amount that will go towards making this an amazing Christmas for a local Langley family in need.

So here’s the stats for our 8th annual charity bootcamp:

1 workout
78 people
$1875 raised
2373 calories rowed in 2 minutes

As a gym, as a community, it’s what we do.

I’m proud to see the impact that this gym is making in our community. More than just a gym, a vehicle for change.

It’s not only just about changing bodies, but our lifestyles, our mindsets… creating new relationships, affecting others positively… no more highlighted by your generosity today.

Before we hit you with some pics and stats on the workout, I would like to thank all of our generous sponsors who provided giveaways for our event:

I’ve been a customer of many of these local Langley businesses for years. If you need a recommendation for a physio, breakfast place, chiropractor, fitness store, juice bar, etc. here is mine.

Now… we also had a workout to do… And with a workout named “Bootcamp for a Clause” we had some work to do! The workout was a team workout with a goal of getting the most reps as a team through 11 exercises. Teams were maxed out at 10, some teams had a few less individuals putting them at a little bit of a disadvantage for getting the most reps, but this was a workout for charity combining experienced befit members with their friends and family, so we were putting first things first.

Here’s the workout stats including top performers in each exercise:

Of note:

Team 2 had 9 members – every person on their team did a 2 minute plank (they were the only team to do that, yet they came in 4th on the plank)
Team 5 was missing one of their team mates for 4 of the exercises
Team 8 had 8 members and was missing one of their team mates for 3 exercises

Now here’s a look at our amazing teams:
