Rush Club 005 Events Announced!

Aug 3, 2015 by Kati Breazeal

The wait is over... Rush Club 005 events have been released! In the 005 programming, you'll see the best of everything, ranging from skill, strength, endurance, and overall bad-assery in each of the challenges.

Need another reason to watch the action live from Phoenix? We've got it. Sam Dancer competed in the inaugural Rush Club event where he challenged (and blew past) Scott Porter, and has since held on to his heavyweight title. Dan Pela recently took the Celebrity Theater stage at Rush Club 004, going head to head with William Wood. In a workout for time with burpees, deadlifts, squats, and power cleans, Pela finished a solid minute before Wood completed his last rep. (Watch here)

Dancer and Pela will meet for the first time on August 15th, at Celebrity Theater in Phoenix, both pushing past their physical limits to take home the champion belt. While Dancer's the reigning champ, Pela has already proven that he's more than capable of keeping up with such a monster of an athlete. Who do you have your money on?
