Our program will change your life.
The Spartan army was the most feared and formidable military force in the ancient Greek world. A Spartan soldier on their own was a serious threat.
But together, they were unstoppable.
Phalanx -- named after the impenetrable formation Spartan warriors used in combat -- is a group fitness program guaranteed to help you crush your Spartan Race goals.
Our Spartan Race team trains on Tuesday nights, from 6:15 - 7:15, with workouts held at various outdoor locations in Regina.
Spartan Race is an outdoor event. The races take place rain or shine, snow or slush. And so, it's only logical we train outdoors as well. The elements add to the challenge and prepare us both mentally and physically for any obstacle thrown our way.
In the words of the great Thucydides, "he is best who is trained in the severest school."
If you don't train in wet, cold, or hot conditions leading up to the race, you can't expect to perform in wet, cold, or hot conditions on race day. To succeed in a Spartan Race, you must leave the confines of the gym.
We train individuals wanting to race for gold, individuals who just want to finish a race, and individuals with no race asiprations who just want a fun new way of training.
Whatever your goals are, we've got your back.
Our Spartan Race team is the only team in Saskatchewan to:
When you sign up for Phalanx, you're joining a team where everyone gets along and has each other's back.
Our group is supportive and caring, and we help each other be our best.
Though we have teammates of different skills, sizes, and abilities, there are no egos here. We cheer and high-five the same whether someone wins the Spartan Ultra or makes it over a wall for the first time.

Details:
Spartan Race is the leading obstacle course race series in the world. Races include a mix of trail running and a variety of obstacles such as monkey bars, sandbag carries, rope climbs, and more.
A Spartan Race Trifecta is achieved by completing one of each of the three main Spartan Race distances -- Sprint, Super, and Beast -- in a single year.
Spartan Races vary in distance and number of obstacles. The Spartan Sprint is 5 kilometers with 20 obstacles. The Spartan Super is 10 kilometers with 25 obstacles. The Spartan Beast is 21 kilometers with 30 obstcles. And the Spartan Ultra is 50 kilometers with 60 obstacles.
Spartan Races are challenging, but they aren't impossible. Race directors do their best to make difficult courses that push you physically and mentally, but with the proper training, anyone can complete one of these races.
Spartan Races are held year round all over the world. You can find upcoming Spartan Races here.
The Spartan Ultra, which consists of 60 obstalces over a 50 kilometer course, is the most difficult Spartan Race.
If you are new to Spartan Race, the Spartan Sprint is the best starting point. It is the shortest and contains the fewest number of obstacles. After completing a Spartan Sprint, you can decide if a longer/more challening race is for you.
No, there is no electric shock type obstacles in a Spartan Race. The obstacles found in a Spartan Race are meant to push you physically -- you must be strong, mobile, and in good shape to complete them. There are no "cheap thrill" obstacles.
Every Spartan Race participant is timed individually, however, people run Spartan Races as a team all the time. Running as a team offers a unique experience.
Spartan offers a kids race at most venues for kids aged 4+ with options for competitive or recreational racers.
