Format

ATHX is a 2.5-hour continuous fitness competition in which athletes move through six consecutive zones. Three of them are scored workouts (Strength, Endurance, MetCon X), the other three are service zones (Warm-Up, Refuel, Recovery). You can enter as an Individual (solo) or as a Team (pair, same-sex or Mixed).

The workouts change every season and are run identically worldwide, so results stay comparable across events.

The six zones
