Train to overcome all those obstacles

If you’ve ever considered entering one of those obstacle-course races — rolling tires up hills, lugging sandbags down gravelly trails — here’s a way to prepare: Los Angeles gym Lock Box Fitness & Performance Center has introduced an OCR Bootcamp class to mimic those challenging requirements.

“It’s simulated indoor equipment, so participants learn how to navigate the obstacles in a safe environment,” said PJ Stahl, head coach and co-owner of Lock Box. The gym uses equipment from Power Systems, which created the products in a partnership with Spartan Race, organizer of obstacle races.

The three-times-a-week, hourlong classes use foam tires, sandbags, medicine balls and 3-foothigh foam barricades — to vault over.

Info: Single class, $25, or 10 for $220. New members signing up in January pay $89 for a month of unlimited classes. Thereafter, $225. 5925 West Pico Blvd. lockboxla.com
