WELCOME ATHLETES!
Hello Athletes!
Welcome once more to another epic Fittest event! It’s been 7
years since we started this competition series and each year, we
strive to innovate and grow. Bringing in new challenges and sharing a
unique athlete experience with the CrossFit community as best we
can.
There will be many new “firsts” for this year’s event and we’re
excited to see what our local CrossFitters can do. This is going to be
the first time ever, a local functional fitness event is going to have a
Trail Bike workout. This will be the 1st time ever, a GHD is going to be
used as well. One of the hardest events to program is a long-duration
wod that lasts between 30mins to an hour, and we’re stoked to test
the athletes with an Aquathlon.
Jason Monteverde
For 7 years now, The Fittest has been the biggest gathering of Tourney Director, The Fittest 2023
local CrossFitters, but this year, we’ve also received entries from
Guam, Singapore, the Middle East and Australia. This year’s battle is
going to be epic and beyond the intense competition, we hope
everyone stays safe and create lasting memories for themselves.
Good luck athletes!!
