training-for-warriors-lincoln-logoCapital City Fitness & Performance / TFW-Lincoln has been helping Lincoln residents get in shape for over six years. As an affiliate of Training for Warriors (TFW), the gym was invited to attend the 3rd Annual TFW Summit in Cornelius, North Carolina this past July.

The event kicked off with a Superhero effort to set a new Guinness World Record. The TFW-Lincoln team of coaches, alongside 112 other warriors from around the world attempted to set the record for most weight deadlifted in one hour. The group completed 24,739 reps and lifted 3,886,245 total pounds. This is the second time TFW-Lincoln has participated in a Guinness World Record attempt. Back in March, the gym set a new record for “Most People Performing Pushups In One Minute Around the World” and helped raise over $40,000 for The Jay Fund which provides financial support for families fighting childhood cancer.

The summit included an awards ceremony, during which TFW Founder, Martin Rooney, recognized the top programs among the network of more than 240 affiliate locations. Mike Bevard, owner of Capital City Fitness & Performance / TFW-Lincoln, was one of just nine individuals to receive an award for his outstanding program here in Lincoln.
