We're landing at the Agen Showdown 🏐️🔥
After the Mayenne Throwdown, next stop was Agen for another weekend of competition, burpees, and team shenanigans.
This time, it was over two days, but it felt like a full week in terms of intensity.
Here's a look back at a crazy weekend with friends, cameras, excessive rowing, and a bonus jacuzzi.
🎬 Friday — The Departure
We left Les Landes on Friday, October 25th, in the late afternoon, the car packed to the brim with bags, shakers, and good spirits.
The vibe was already great: bad jokes, chips, questionable playlists, and Brandon/Tommy already ready to film everything.
The vlog started here, and clearly, the "fitness summer camp" atmosphere was set.
No WODs yet, but already a lot of breath lost... from laughing so much.
🏐 Saturday — Day 1: Three WODs, three vibes
First day of competition.
Three WODs throughout the day, each one more cardio than the last, sprinkled with heavy lifts and gymnastics.
Spoiler: way too many burpees and too much rowing.
The kind of combo that makes you question all your athletic decisions.
But the team gave it their all:
- Brandon & Solenne (HF RX): solid from start to finish.
- Mélanie & Marion (FF Inter): consistent, clean, constantly improving.
- Tommy & Flo (HH RX): steel mental despite a dense field.
- Emma & Gaëtan (HF RX): ultra consistent and focused.
- Adrien & Sylvain (HH RX): the bosses.
Between WODs, the atmosphere remained the same: laughter, support, teasing, and a few beers for the road.
The crowd was electric, the speakers were great, and the judges held strong in the face of our approximate burpees.
💨 Sunday — Day 2: Final WODs and Finals
Two WODs for everyone, then the final for the best.
And a big surprise: almost all of our teams made it to the final.
Goal achieved, and more.
That's where you see that weeks of training and previous competitions pay off.
Despite moments of weakness and aching legs, everyone held on.
True teamwork, with great cohesion both on and off the floor.
Regarding results:
- 🥉 Adrien & Sylvain made it to the podium, 3rd.
- Brandon & Solenne finished 7th
- Mélanie & Marion narrowly missed the podium with a 4th place.
- Tommy & Flo finished 12th, solid.
- Emma & Gaëtan, 43rd, but with smiles all the way.
🏠 The AirBnB of Recovery (or almost)
When we weren't crawling on the floor, we were enjoying our huge AirBnB house:
pool table, ping-pong, large dining table, jacuzzi… post-WOD paradise.
Between two gargantuan meals and some serious discussions,
we spent simple, chill, and ultra-bonding moments.
That's also what competition is about: as many memories off the floor as on it.
🎥 The moments that sum it all up
- Non-stop jokes between WODs.
- Filmed fails we'll watch again with love.
- Group debriefs as intense as the workouts.
- And most importantly, that unique atmosphere where everyone pushes each other to do better, regardless of rankings.
🤝 The guests & the atmosphere
As always, the French fitness scene was well-represented:
Kévin Prissé, Gillian Da Silva, Alexandre Pinsolle, Vincent Pradié, and other big hitters came to battle it out… but always with a smile and a good joke.
That's what makes these events special: skill, sweat, but above all, a cool and accessible vibe.
The full vlog:
❤️ Thanks to the team & those behind the camera
A huge thank you to the whole team for playing along in front of the camera — even between reps or with a 180 bpm heart rate.
And a big shout out to those behind the camera:
Brandon (yes, the one who finishes WODs drenched in sweat then grabs the camera right away),
Tommy Agu (the eye, the humor, and consistency incarnate),
and Emma, always there to lend a hand, a plan, or a burst of laughter.
Without you, this vlog wouldn't have existed, and this weekend wouldn't have been the same.
Thank you for the hard work, the passion, and the good vibes 🙌
