What Is the Iron Gauntlet?

The Gauntlet is simple: 14 minutes that push your body and your mindset. Four stations, three rounds, and then the burpee finisher that shows whether you’re willing to empty the tank. It’s fast, scalable, and honest work. Nothing fancy. Just you, your effort, and the clock.

How It Works

• 40 seconds work, 20 seconds rest
• 4 stations per round → Push → Legs → Core → Conditioning
• 3 rounds = 12 minutes
• Finisher: 2 minutes of burpees (AMRAP)

Coach’s Take

You don’t need perfect conditions. You need commitment. Clear a space the size of a yoga mat. Hit start on your timer. Push through each round and finish with burpees like they owe you money.

My recommended use: The Gauntlet works for anything. Use it once a month as a benchmark to measure progress. Hit it two or three times a week between other workouts. Do it daily and watch your numbers climb. Run it when you travel and don’t have a gym. Do it on a train or on a plane—although probably not a good idea. 😉

Accountability & Badges

Non-negotiable: If you run it, post it. Your score tells the story. Accountability changes effort.
