How MilQuest works

You are invited to 10 weeks of military inspired training, leading up to the GET IT DONE challenge, a four hour grueling test of everything you have worked for.

Every week contains:


Weekend challenge

A two-hour challenge is released every weekend, in the theme of the class, either: Endurance, Cardio, Strength, Explosivity. Passing all these are mandatory to earn your finisher patch. The final one is the GET IT DONE challenge. Challenges are designed so that everyone can be together, no matter their fitness level (blue, green, red)


Weekly workouts

Four 30-60 minute weekly workouts are released every start of the week: Strength & Stability, Rucking & Running, Explosivity, Toughness. These are optional to earn your finisher patch. Finishing them earns the prestigeous 100% completion bar on your finisher patch.


Never Give Up

Additionally to passing the unknown challenges on the hardest (red) level, you can choose to accumulate a number of known challenges during the class also. For example 100km rucking and 1000 burpees. This  earns you the legendary NEVER GIVE UP finisher patch.
