JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas –
Camp Gladiator is scheduled to host a free workout from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Aug. 27 at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph’s Rambler Fitness Center track.
The idea for the event began in May at the JBSA Aerobathon, Abbie Pollard, 502nd Force Support Squadron community programs and partnership specialist said.
After seeing Camp Gladiator’s booth at the Aerobathon, Pollard began attending the camps herself and fell in love with the program.
“When you’re doing other workout programs or working out on your own, it’s easy to become stagnant,” Pollard said. “Camp Gladiator is constantly changing up their workouts and creating new, fun ways to work out – so you’re never doing the same workout twice.”
Camp Gladiator’s regular program is a four-week camp where each week focuses on a different areas of fitness. The program includes a week of endurance, strength training, interval training and metabolic work.
During the event, there will be four 20 minute fitness stations, each will represent a different week of the Camp Gladiator program. After the workout, Camp Gladiator trainers will also talk with participants about how to live a healthy lifestyle.
“Camp Gladiator is really a fitness family – there’s no judgment,” Pollard said. “Everyone is at different fitness levels and there’s constant encouragement of each other during workouts.”
The theme of the event is red, white and blue and participants are encouraged to come dressed up. Prizes will be given out for the most spirited and the best dressed. OMG Sounds will be providing music.
The event is open to all DoD ID card holders and their dependents.
Camp Gladiator events will also be held at JBSA-Fort Sam Houston Sept. 17 and at JBSA-Lackland Oct. 29. The theme for JBSA-Fort Sam Houston's event is 80s workout video and the theme for JBSA-Lackland’s event is Halloween costume.
