Out of your comfort zone, into the gym! This edition of our WE•TRST Challenge was intense: first, a 5-kilometer warm-up run together, then burning muscles during the timed strength course by PULSE AND BALANCE. First sweating together, then battling for every second on the course – that was our menu for the day.
From Dreiweihern to a real test of endurance
It started at Dreilinden. Together, we jogged the 5 kilometers over to PULSE AND BALANCE in Neudorf. For some, it was a relaxed warm-up; for others, it was already the first small workout. As always with our runs, the rule was: no stress, no stopwatch, just arrive together as a team.
Short, sharp – and really strenuous: The Course
Once at the studio, the coach from PULSE AND BALANCE took the reins. The setup sounded quite harmless: 10 squats, 10 wall balls, 10 lunges. The catch? The clock was ticking, and everything was at stake.
That's what makes this format so brilliant. The exercises are simple, and absolutely everyone can participate. But as soon as the timer starts and the whole group cheers you on, you automatically push yourself to the limit. And believe us: after 5 kilometers in your legs, even a measly 10 squats suddenly feel incredibly heavy.
Well-deserved prizes (and a big thank you)
Those who pushed hardest were, of course, rewarded. Our male and female winners each took home prizes worth several hundred francs – generously sponsored by PULSE AND BALANCE and WE•TRST. A huge thank you to the entire team for their support and for letting us run wild in your studio! As a consolation prize, all participants received STEP•ONE socks.
Good to know: PULSE AND BALANCE combines sports orthopedics, physiotherapy, and athletic training under one roof and provides medical support to, among others, FC St. Gallen 1879. So, absolute professionals are at work here, who know exactly how to make athletes sweat.
We've got a taste for it: The Challenge continues
Whether seasoned runners who join every Sunday or cool newcomers – your feedback after the event blew us away. That's why one thing is clear to us: the WE•TRST Challenge is going into the next round.
We want to continue mixing our runs with new, unexpected activities in the future. Calisthenics? We rocked it. Strength course? Check. What's next remains our little secret.
Come to the next Run Club, let yourself be surprised, and be part of the crew.
Always better together.
