Fall at FLAC: Fitness Challenges, Pink Out Week & the 2026 Turkey Trot!

Fall is in full swing at Four Lakes Athletic Club in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, and there’s no better time to refresh your fitness routine, connect with your community, and get moving toward your goals! From our 4 Weeks to a Fitter You Challenge and Pink Out Week in Group Fitness to the upcoming 2026 FLAC Turkey Trot, there are plenty of ways to make this season your strongest yet.

Whether you’re looking for a local gym in Southeastern Wisconsin, motivating group fitness classes, or a fun Thanksgiving morning race, there’s something for everyone at FLAC. Here’s what’s happening this week!

Week 3 of the 4 Weeks to a Fitter You Challenge: Wall Squats

Small steps lead to big results, and our 4 Weeks to a Fitter You Challenge is designed to help you build healthy habits one week at a time.

We’re now on Week 3, and this week’s goal is simple: complete three 30-second wall squats every day. Hold your squat for 30 seconds, rest for 30 seconds, and repeat until you’ve completed all three rounds.

Wall squats are an accessible bodyweight exercise that can help build lower-body strength, improve muscular endurance, and reinforce proper squat positioning. They primarily engage the quadriceps, glutes, and other muscles that help support everyday movements like standing, sitting, climbing stairs, and staying active.

The best part? You don’t need a gym full of equipment to participate. Find a clear wall, set a timer, and make your daily wall squats part of your fall fitness routine.

Haven’t participated in the challenge yet? It’s not too late to get moving! Start where you are, focus on consistency, and keep building on your progress. Remember, every rep counts toward a stronger, healthier you.

For additional guidance and exercise tips, check out our Week 3 Wall Squats Challenge blog and keep working toward your fitness goals at Four Lakes Athletic Club.

Pink Out Week: Wear Pink to FLAC Group Fitness!

This week, we’re adding a little extra color and a meaningful purpose to our FLAC Group Fitness classes. It’s Pink Out Week, and we’re inviting members to wear pink to class in support of breast cancer awareness!

From strength training and cardio to cycling, yoga, and more, Pink Out Week is an opportunity to show your support while doing something great for your health.

At Four Lakes Athletic Club, fitness is about more than lifting weights or checking off a workout. It’s about building connections, encouraging one another, and creating a community that supports health and well-being.

Whether you’re a longtime group fitness enthusiast or trying a class for the first time, we encourage you to join us, wear your pink gear, and help make this week a little brighter.

Here’s how to participate:

  • Wear pink to your FLAC Group Fitness classes this week.

  • Invite a workout buddy to join you.

  • Encourage your fellow members and celebrate the power of community.

  • Keep showing up for your health, one class at a time.
