THE SCOOP @ Soules!
What's going on at your Favorite Berkshire County Gym?
Cross Country Miles!
This will be the third year we have done this!
We track your miles via walking, running, biking, or swimming, and see how close to getting across the country (or the state for swimming) by the end of the year!
​
All you have to do is download the Strava app and follow Josh Reis and we will track your miles. Alternatively there is a clipboard on the wall that you can log miles.
One year; 12 Tough Challenges - how many can you achieve?
​
We did this in 2025 and had really fun results! (See the bottom of the page for who did the most!) We thought it would be fun to see if you can re-challenge yourselves this year, tackle the ones that were tough and you enjoyed the most!
*We may change a few of these for 2026 so check back in to this page for updates*
​
You have a challenge for each month; look ahead and take advantage of our help by working with a Trainer to help achieve them!
Each challenge has 3 scalable levels (Gold, Silver, Bronze) and earn points for each challenge completed (3 for Gold, 2 for Silver, 1 for Bronze) - top 3 points at the end of the year gets huge prizes!
