Fortem Summer Fest 2025 Recap + Photo Album 

Written By Jacqueline Pollema

What. A. Day. In August, we hosted Fortem Summer Fest, and the energy in the gym was dialed up from start to finish.
35 teams came ready to throw down, grinding through three tough workouts that tested fitness, grit, and teamwork. But what stood out most? The community. The way everyone rallied together by cheering, encouraging, and going all-out for each other.
Summer Fest wasn’t just about leaderboard spots. It was about what makes this community strong: shared effort, competition, and that extra gear you only find in the heat of it..

Highlights

  • 35 teams brought the fire

  • The crowd energy never dropped

  • Fortem + visiting athletes left it all on the floor

  • Volunteers kept it running smooth (you’re the real MVPs)
