June 26, 2021. Pride Throwdown is our annual team-based Pride Celebration & Competition. You and two other teammates will work together to finish a challenging 45 minute synchronized CrossFit WOD. After a brief rest, our Top 4 teams will face off in a single-elimination Olympic lifting showdown until one team remains. Trophies go to the top three finishing teams and MVP, a full brunch, and beers on us.
Beginner Friendly Event
Sand & Steel is an all-inclusive gym that supports athletes of ALL FITNESS LEVELS. Beginner-level athletes will have a significantly easier scaling than our more advanced athletes. So if you are a beginner your exercises will have lower weights and be less technical than an advanced athlete. On the other hand, if you are a more advanced athlete, we’ll be putting you through your paces with some heavier deadlifts and thrusters.
Bottom-line, everyone can do this event. If you an injury, we’ll scale it for you. And of course, we will carefully balance the teams so everyone has an equal chance to win.
Join Coach Paul at Aslin Brewery at 7:30 PM Friday night (June 18) for some post-workout beers, food, and the big reveal. That’s right, we’ll be talking about what’s really in the Pride Throwdown workout. Don’t miss it!
We have two discounted Pride tickets remaining! There will be prizes, food, beer meet-up, and a ton of fun!
Plus members who wear their Pride shirts on Tuesdays get free BCAAs. Please support our LGBT members at Sand & Steel.

Participant Registration Form
The Main Event – The Pride Throwdown
Teams of 3 – One Beginner, One Intermediate, and One Advanced Level Member. Together, you’ll do deadlifts, burpees, thruster, pullups, and a short run. Each team member will have their own scaling based on their skill level (e.g. Beginners will do ring rows, intermediate banded pull-ups, etc.) All teams will race to the finish line.
The Top 4 teams will then compete in a 4-way strength matchup where their powerlifting and Olympic lifting skills will be tested. Members will compete head-to-head at their own skill-levels — the team that lifts the highest overall weight takes it. Women will have a 40% multiplier added to their score to account for differences in strength. The winning team takes home the coveted 1st Place Pride PairUp Throwdown Trophy, $75 Rewards Points, and a Beer on Paul.
Preparation
Join us in the CrossFit Metcon, Strong and KORE classes for practice and preparation for the event.
Scaling
We have designated 3 scaling for this competition. We will make special adaptions for any athlete that cannot do their scaled version. We are an all-inclusive gym and we make sure the teams are balanced so that everyone has a fair shot at winning this competition.
