Fittest Gym in GymSync's Raging Rapids

Twickenham Gym FUEL X

What a weekend.

The scores are in, the leaderboard is locked, and FUEL X has officially claimed the top spot in GymSync's Raging Rapids. Going up against more than 80 gyms from around the world, the Twickenham community finished first in the global team event, programmed by JST Compete.

A huge achievement, but anyone who was there knows it wasn't just about the result. It was about the atmosphere, the teamwork, and everyone digging in for each other from the first SkiErg calorie to the final burpee.

So, what was Raging Rapids?

Teams of four took on a fast-paced 30-minute workout that tested more than just fitness. Strategy, pacing and communication all played a huge part.

The workout included:

– A tough 20-minute rotating EMOM featuring max calories on the SkiErg and RowErg, alongside lateral burpee box overs.

– A final 10-minute push where every calorie and every rep counted.

– A live global leaderboard, with gyms around the world competing at the same time.

Simple on paper. Far less simple once the clock started.

It Was Bigger Than the Leaderboard

The results spoke for themselves. Alongside taking the overall title, FUEL X also topped multiple age group podiums, including the 40s, 50s and 60s divisions, as well as claiming the overall female title. It was a brilliant reflection of what the gym is all about, that performance isn't defined by age or experience. 

What the Community Had to Say

"The SkiErg was my favourite station.” (We are as shocked by this comment as you are! Haha) 

"The transitions made the biggest difference. Everyone knew exactly when to go and what they had to do, so we didn't waste any time."

"The burpees were horrible! Everyone knew they would be, especially towards the end."

"Looking around and seeing athletes in their twenties competing alongside members in their sixties sums up what FUEL X is all about."

What's Next?

Raging Rapids showed exactly why team competitions continue to grow. Yes, everyone wants to climb the leaderboard, but it's the shared experience that keeps people coming back. Working together, pushing through the tough moments and celebrating at the finish line.

The next GymSync global event lands this September, and after taking the top spot this time, there's no doubt FUEL X will be looking to defend the title.

Fancy giving it a go?
