Put yourself to the test and race against the very best in the UK

On the 26th Sept at Fitness First in Chatham Kent , the best UK Gym Athletes will gather for the Ultimate in Fitness Gym Challenges.

Launching Gym Based Sports in the UK and finding the best Gym Athletes in the UK is what the UK GCA is setting out to do. Has your gym got the UK's Ultimate Gym Athlete?

Racing in an arena called the Orbital - athletes will race a gym assault course of eight stations , testing their speed, strength and endurance. Friends and family are encouraged to support them every step of the way, by following them down the ultimate fitness course screaming support and encouragement. Be there at this amazing race and see after if you could compete in your gym at a race just like this.

Is it just for the super fit ?

No ! Male or Female 'Gym Athletes' compete in the first ever combined Club Xtreme Challenge - this means that as long as you can compete the course in under 20 minutes for Male and under 22 min's for Female then you can enter.

The current fastest time for Male is 13:36 by Neil Cameron and the fastest Female time 15:46 by Sue Hemsley.

There will be only 72 Race Slots and you race only somebody who has submitted an equal time to you on their entry form. Every race will be close.

The equipment being used on the day is Life Fitness, Concept 2 indoor rowing machines, and body pump bars for bench and shoulder.
