ATHX isn’t just an event - it’s an adrenaline-fueled ride that’ll test your fitness, fire up your motivation, and leave you hungry for more.
Whether you’re a seasoned gym goer or just dipping your toes into the world of functional fitness, here’s what you can expect when you step onto the ATHX stage.
1. The energy is electric
Imagine walking into a room buzzing with energy - music pounding, barbells clanging, and a crowd that’s fired up and ready to cheer. The atmosphere at an ATHX event is infectious. Even if it’s your first time, you’ll feel like part of something bigger.
As Ollie Marchon puts it, "It’s a true test of fitness that not only challenges athletes but also brings people together - trainers, coaches, gym owners, and everyday gym-goers alike."
2. A community that has your back
If you’re worried about being out of your depth, don’t be. ATHX is built on inclusivity and encouragement. The competition is tough, but the camaraderie is tougher. This year’s ATHX London event, which kicked off the series, had the most diverse group of athletes we’ve seen - different ages, sizes, and fitness levels. Proof that fitness is for everyone.
3. A warm-up that means business
Before you hit the floor, you’ll have access to a well-equipped warm-up zone. Think mobility tools, weights, and space to prep your body and mind. Event staff and coaches are there to guide you, so you’ll feel ready when it’s go time.
4. Workouts that push you to the limit
Get ready for a mix of strength, endurance, and strategy. The events are designed to test every facet of your fitness - and they’re scalable, so anyone can jump in. The entire ATHX experience has been programmed with movements that anyone walking into a gym can work toward. It’s about pushing yourself while staying realistic and safe.
5. Break your own limits
ATHX isn’t just about competing - it’s about discovering what you’re made of. With adrenaline pumping and the crowd behind you, you’ll surprise yourself with what you can achieve.
6. Memories that stick with you
ATHX is more than a workout - it’s a memory you’ll carry with you. The cheers of the crowd, the moment you push through the workout, the fist bumps at the finish - it’s all part of the experience.
