Works out at less than $2 for an hour session, was an easy decision to buy. It's the first time this discount has been offered, and with 4 locations to choose from in Sydney I thought I'd share. It is outdoor group training with others who enjoy obstacle racing.
This looks like a hideously bad idea… nothing against the post, but this type of training is incredible dangerous and potentially financially devastating. Many of the drills these trainers are making their participants do is using equipment that is not 'fit for purpose'… ie, it was not designed to be used in the way they are using it (eg Donkey Jumps over copper logs). If you were to injure yourself, the first thing their insurer would ask is 'What were you doing and what were you doing it on?' - if the answer is using walls, stairs, bollards, etc they will not cover the claim and you will be at the mercy of the provider's self insurance (ie their own money in the bank) to cover your medical costs…
That being said, the actual Obstacle Races (Tough Mudder, Stampede, etc) are awesome!
Good luck!

TLDR: YOLO.
Additional - If you use the phrase 'YOLO' please participate in as many injury-inducing and/or life threatening activities as possible…
Just kidding… (kind of).
If you injure yourself in the gym you are not covered and a squat rack or olympic bar is fit for purpose so whats the point of your comment? I personally wouldn't do this but it has risks, just like doing a deadlift or a squat does.
