Overview
What it is
ATHX Games runs arena-format functional fitness competitions in major exhibition centres (NEC Birmingham, ExCeL London, RAI Amsterdam and more). Athletes move through six zones in a 2.5-hour continuous competition, three of them scored workouts.
Three categories scale the difficulty: Lite (entry level), ATHX (intermediate) and Pro (advanced). Workouts change each season — 2026 events use the 2026 workouts, and the 2027 workouts are published for 2027 events.
