Kevin's Warrior Classes: Earning the "I Survived" T-Shirt

My classes are tough — some warriors tough it out for both Strength & Conditioning and HIIT.

Sometime last year when Cody asked to stack her classes, I did as well — so we each taught two one-hour classes in sequence. Several folks who attended both classes back-to-back joked that they deserved an "I Survived" t-shirt like at the Hyrox or Spartan races. So I printed these and surprised my "warriors" with them on a Monday.

24 attended Strength & Conditioning, 8 made it through the double class (Part 2: HIIT). Since the original day, we've had 2 more weeks of 2–3 individuals earning their "I Survived" t-shirts. I'll have more to pass out next Monday for our traditional once-a-month station series — weights (hour 1), HIIT (hour 2).

It's just a fun way to acknowledge commitment and stick-to-it perseverance. 

I can't believe I've been teaching for 2+ years now. Each class feels fresh and I pride myself in making participants feel welcome and spent by the end of each hour.

It was a fun and dynamic Monday!
