1000 Workout


Meet the objective, reach your goals...

Need an effective workout that doesn't require a lot of thought or time? Try the West Loop Gym 1,000 challenge. With every workout you will get stronger and look better!

You may have heard of the infamous "300" or "Spartan" workout made popular by crossfit and the Hollywood hit movie 300. In this workout you complete 300 total repetitions of various exercises in as little time and with as little rest as possible. The
West Loop Gym 1,000 is made up of 10 exercises, 100 repetitions each, totaling a whopping 1,000 repetitions. And for those of you looking for that extra kick, add a 1-mile run (not a jog) to the end of your workout.

While there are many ways to complete your 1,000 workout, I will show you my personal favorite. Here are the exercises we will use for the 1000:
  1. Push-ups
  2. Body Weight Squats
  3. Lat Pull Down
  4. Stability Ball Crunch
  5. Triceps dip (on chair)
  6. Alternating Lunges (50 each leg)
  7. Rubber Band Rows
  8. Bicycle Crunches
  9. Dumbbell Biceps Curls
  10. Rope Triceps extension
Complete 100 repetitions of each exercise in this order before moving on to the next exercise. You do not need to do 100 repetitions in a row, but try to finish each exercise with as few breaks as possible. Once you finish the last exercise, get on a treadmill and crank out 1 mile as fast as you can without break.

An average time to complete everything would be 35minutes. We've even had a few clients finish below 30 minutes! If you finish your 1,000 + mile in under 30 minutes, email cheston.bogue@gmail.com to be added to the list of champions!
