What is the Thunderbolt challenge?
When you join the Thunderbolt Challenge, you will be a part of a unique online fitness community.
What sets us apart from the rest?
No gym membership required, and workouts can be customized to your schedule and fitness level.
Thunderbolt team members are real people who share their health and fitness tips, recipes, struggles and successes within a safe, welcoming, supportive community.
In addition to being part of the larger Thunderbolt community, members are assigned to smaller teams for the extra motivation of fun workout challenges with opportunities to earn points and prizes!
Start your Journey!
The Thunderbolt Challenge is a unique online fitness community started by Patrick Withrow in the Fall of 2017. Originating as a private group on Facebook, Patrick invited a group of friends to compete in small fitness challenges as a fun way to keep each other motivated. It worked! In fact, it was such a success that the group continued to grow by word of mouth until Patrick decided in 2020 to open Thunderbolt Challenge to anyone who is ready to start their fitness journey!
