It’s simple.
Without a purpose, you’re simply a hamster spinning on a wheel, passing time without going anywhere or accomplishing anything. Stuck. Moving but not really advancing. Full of frustration and void of any excitement or passion. Surviving, not thriving.
How boring. How depressing.
You definitely don’t want to be a hamster, do you?
Neither do we.
So, to avoid the spinning wheel, we’ve incorporated badges into our gym’s ecosystem. They’re designed to put a purpose and some fun in your training.
Who doesn’t love a good game?
And best of all, anyone can accomplish them. Of course, that’s anyone with the right attitude, a little persistence, and a lot of consistency.
Each badge is tied to a particular skill like endurance or strength. No matter your interest, your weakness, or your ability, there is a badge you can earn.
Earn a badge, get a reward– everything from an Ageless water bottle to an Ageless t-shirts. You can earn as many badges as you want in 2018.
