Sound familiar?

Feeling unfit, unmotivated, and like you've lost your edge?

You’re not unfit, lazy, or incapable. But you feel like a diluted version of who you used to be. The drive’s dulled. The discipline’s faded. The challenge is gone. And with that, so is the pride.

What you need

You don't need another run around the block. You need a reason to push yourself.

You need something that actually lights a fire under you. Something to fight for again. Something to make you feel sharp, focussed, resilient. Like you've got something in the tank worth proving.

  • Build Structure and focus

    No more winging it. These challenges give you a reason to train, a deadline to hit, and a bit of pressure to keep you moving.

  • Get excited & enjoy training

    The variety and novelty of the challenges will keep your training new, interesting and exciting, and dare we say it, enjoyable.

  • Push harder. Go Further.

    Rokman challenges are designed with clear targets that force you to dig deeper, go longer, and prove you’ve still got it.

  • Fits around your busy schedule

    Each challenge is built to work around your life, whether it’s kids, work, or your existing training. No travel, no waiting. Take part anywhere, anytime.

  • Adjust to your fitness levels

    There's no need to fear the challenges. Each one is designed to be adjusted to suit your personal level of fitness.

  • Get Support & camaraderie

    You’ll be part of a group who are all in the same boat — pushing, struggling, showing up together. That changes everything.

I got sore legs, a finishers pip and certificate to be proud of and a true sense of achievement.

Here's how you'll get challenged

Week 1

Standard Beep Test

Distance

20m

Measure and mark out a 20m track. Run continuously between the markers in time to recorded beeps until failure. Continue running between the two lines, turning when signalled by the recorded beeps. After about one minute, a sound indicates an increase in speed, and the beeps will be closer together. This continues each minute (level).

400m

-00:15

A progressive endurance running challenge. The test requires challengers to run quarter mile (400m) shuttles between two points in under 5:00 minutes. However, after each split, the time limit per shuttle is lessened by 15 seconds. The test continues until the runner fails to run the distance at the required time.

Week 3

Ruck & Roll

1. Weighted Run

2 miles

2. Unweighted Run

2 miles

Choose your load for the weighted segment of the challenge:

Level 1

0kg (no load)

Level 2

5kg

Level 3

10kg

Level 4

15kg

Level 5

20kg
Ruck and Roll requires participants to cover a 2 mile distance carrying their chosen weighted load. Once complete, participants must then lose the weight and complete the distance once again in as quick as time as possible unweighted.

You'll be performing four different exercises: squats, sit-ups, push-ups, and burpees. But here's the twist - before you tackle each exercise, you have to conquer a 1km distance.


It's all about speed and stamina. How quickly can you complete the entire workout? Your time is your personal record, so give it your all and go for the gold!


Don't worry, we've got you covered no matter your fitness level. We've provided movement variations for each exercise, so everyone can join in on the fun. Just follow the instructions below to find the perfect variation for you.

★★★★★

"Would recommend this to anyone who is looking to push themselves that bit harder."

The challenges was great, you could choose a level that suited you but still pushed you as you were trying to reach times and targets within your level. The chat and motivation within the group was good and really helped push you along.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be mega fit?

No. Rokman challenge series offer a variety of different levels of entry to suit all fitness levels, from novice all the way up to advanced.

Can I fit the challenges around my existing training?

Absolutely. Each challenge has been designed that you can seamlessly fit them in and around your current training and your existing life commitments.

How are Rokman challenges different to other online challenges?

Rokman's superior platform allows us to go far beyond regular distance accumulator challenges. This means we're able to offer a much more varied challenges that score for time, distance, elevation, reps, rounds, beat previous, and more. Keeping you interested and excited week after week.

I'm busy. Will I have time to complete the challenges?

Yes! Each challenge has been designed that they won't take hours to complete. On longer challenges you have the option to split them into multiple, smaller activities across the week.

The challenges are given above. Why should I pay?

We charge a small, affordable fee to cover the cost of running the platform. But more importantly, paying creates buy-in. When it’s free, people flake—every time. Putting money down makes you more likely to show up, commit, and finish. Plus, your entry unlocks full access to the platform, the leaderboard, community support, and the chance to earn your Rokman Finisher’s Pip.

How does it work?

Get the brief sent your inbox at the start of each work. Attempt the challenge and evidence on your fitness tracker. Then upload your evidence to our online submission form. Simple.

Do I have to be on the leaderboards?

No, not at all. Leaderboards are opt-in, so if you'd rather tackle the challenges in private, you can.

How long do we have to complete each challenge?

We recommend that you complete each challenge within 7-days from the date of issue. However, we understand that life can often get in the way, so that’s why accept submissions up until 7-days after the end of the monthly series.

What is someone cheats?

We do our very best to weed out any cheating by asking people to evidence their challenge attempts. However, due to the nature of this being an online challenge series, it’s not 100% fool proof.We have to take everyone’s submissions at face-value. If we can confidently identify people either cheating or doing the challenge incorrectly, we will notify the competitor privately via email.At the end of the day, the leaderboard is just a bit of competitive fun. These challenges are personal tests of resilience. If people decide to cheat, they’re only cheating themselves. If you concentrate on yourself and give your best honest performance then you can hold your head high at the end of the day.

What if I don't enjoy it, can I get a refund?

Absolutely! If you try it and decide it's not for you, we offer a 30-day no questions asked money back guarantee.

Can I use a treadmill?

All running challenges are designed to undertaken outside, however, if you are unable to go outside we will accept treadmill entries. If participating on a treadmill, the treadmill must be set at a 2.5 degree angle.
