Frankie Sagona is a Pueblo native who gained international attention in 2023 after completing more than 1,000 chin-ups in one hour. Now, he's preparing to raise the bar even higher.

The challenge starts Saturday at 9 a.m. at the Zestful Balance gym, which is located near The Walter Brewing Company.

Anyone can show up to watch him go for the following three chin-up world records:
