The Vanguard is a brand new fitness competition brought to you by the team behind the 2019-2021 Bacon Beatdown (and upcoming Atlantic Coast Classic!). It is a team-only event (Same sex 2s and co-ed 4s) hosted in the 4,000 seat Arena at the beautiful RP Funding Center in Downtown Lakeland.

We will bring what we’re known for: quality, balanced, fun, no-gimmicks programming, an incredible atmosphere, and a well-run event. Expect to see at least five workouts with five to six scores over two days (3 for beginners!), including an off-site pool wod. You should expect all manner of top-level team challenges, including worm work, synchro movements, hold mechanics, etc. Get your partner or your team ready..!

Just like The Bacon Beatdown / Atlantic Coast Classic, we will have an Arena for the competition with stadium seating overlooking the floor. We will also have an athlete/vendor room down the hall that will be a quieter place to rest, recover, and shop between wods. Chairs, mats, etc are welcome — no tents, though (it’s a space issue). We will release more venue details as we get closer to the event.
