DEKA is The Decathlon of Functional Fitness. It consists of indoor fitness competitions and motivational training programs designed for ALL levels. Take your OCR game to a whole new level and embrace the DEKA challenge. Sign up for our first DEKA event NOW.

Group training and competition in the fitness world is skyrocketing in popularity. As such, we wanted to develop something that would not only stand out, but also stand the test of time. Enter DEKA, the first-ever functional fitness decathlon.

This isn't a group class or a boutique gym (though we wholly support the impact that those experiences have on fitness culture). DEKA is a standardized test that will give athletes — remember, everyone is an athlete here — of all skill levels, from anywhere around the world, an honest assessment of their current state of fitness. DEKA athletes will complete 10 unique exercise challenges and run a total of 5 kilometers (3.1 miles). It is an unforgettable and effective way to train, test, and compete. 

Defining DEKA Athletes

DEKA is not just for elite athletes. This is an opportunity for anyone at any fitness level to be tested as they work toward achieving their own personal level of excellence. While each athlete will fall under a specific category, we created DEKA as a way for athletes of each and every fitness level to come together and be able to test, train, and compete in the same arena, on the same day.
