ATHX has signed on as an official CrossFit Partner Event Series. ATHX joins XENOM in this new category of partnerships with CrossFit.
The format of the ATHX Games is similar to that of Wodapalooza’s famous Gauntlet. However, the ATHX Games takes 2.5 hours (vs 1 hour for the Gauntlet) and the workouts remain the same for an entire year.
Throughout the 2.5 hours, participants will take on three workout zones with recovery zones between each. The workout zones include a Strength Zone, Endurance Zone and Metcon-X Zone.
The flow of the ATHX Games is as follows:
Warm-up Zone (30 minutes): Athletes are taken through a structured warm-up to elevate their heart rate and prepare for the workout zones.
Strength Zone (20 minutes): In 2026, athletes have six minutes to complete each station: 1RM Strict Press, 3RM Back Squat & 5RM Deadlift. Score is total weight lifted.
Refuel Zone (10 mins): Athletes have 10 minutes to recover and prepare for the Endurance Zone.
Endurance Zone (30 minutes): In 2026, athletes have 22 minutes to accumulate max distance of running and rowing, switching movements every 750 meters (and every 1,000 meters for Pros)
Recovery Zone (30 minutes): Athletes have time to recover from 22 minutes of running and rowing and prepare for their final workout.
Metcon X Zone (30 minutes): In 2026, athletes have 25 minutes to complete a down-and-back chipper. The workout is…
45/30-calorie Ski Erg
30 dumbbell ground-to-overhead reps (single dumbbell for individuals and double dumbbell for pros)
30-meter sandbag carry
30 box jump-overs
30-meter dual dumbbell walking lunges
30-meter burpee broad jumps
45/30-calorie Ski Erg
There are three skill levels – PRO, ATHX and LITE. Athletes can register as an individual or pairs (except LITE is only pairs).
