Spartan
Ever been interested in learning about Spartan and Obstacle Course Racing (OCR)? Did you sign up for a race and looking to train for it? Our Spartan program is designed to prepare you for the rigors of racing. Whether you are a new racer signing up for your first race or an experienced one trying to improve your performance or increase your challenge, our programs focus on the fundamental preparation needed to run your best race.
Our coaches are Spartan SGX certified, and we offer both team and individual training to properly prepare you to run your first (or 100th) race. Spartan Races are unique because they challenge participants in multiple ways (strength, speed, power, endurance), which makes properly training for them challenging. Our programming addresses all of these by training a mix of obstacle skills, aerobic endurance and capacity, explosive power, strength, and importantly, mental resilience and grit. Our offerings include:
Spartan Personal Training – Customized programming to align with your race goals, whether it be to run your first race, an Ultra, or to compete in age group or elite racing.
Spartan Team Training – Team training designed to prepare our race teams to run specific races during our Spartan “season” (Mar-Sep). Our programming is periodized to progress the team safely while also properly preparing the body for the race. Team training is very fun, varied, and you build a lot of camaraderie in the process!

Chris Travis
Chris has been a certified Spartan SGX coach since 2019. He ran his first Spartan in 2013. It totally kicked his ass, but he fell in love with the races because of how unique they are. He ran his first Trifecta in 2016, and most recently completed the Hawaii Spartan Trifecta in 2021 (all 3 race distances in 2 days). He loves introducing new people to Spartan and also training experienced Spartans to improve their performance!
