Fitness Director Competes on Television
Tune in to the fifth season premiere of the Steve Austin Skull Buster Challenge, a reality series broadcast on CMT on Tuesday, September 26 at 10:00 p.m. to catch a familiar face competing in the episode!
JCC Fitness Director Jason Goggins will be one of eight male competitors in the premiere episode who compete one-on-one in a bracket-style elimination. After three elimination rounds, a single finalist must compete in a half mile obstacle course (the “Skull Buster”) not only completing the course but doing so in record time. To find out how Goggins placed, tune in for the season premiere!
“It is an incredible opportunity I have at the JCC to train at the Black Diamond obstacle course,” Goggins said, “Combined with the expansive fitness facility where I can work on strength training, it really prepares me to compete at this elite level.”
The obstacle course is free and open to all JCC members. It also hosts open training days and is available to rent. For more information on course training or to rent the facility, contact
Jason Goggins at 614-559-6237.
