In celebration of the 2020 Summer Olympics, we are rolling out the 1st ever Summer Decathlon, a training event that celebrates strength, endurance and the spirit of competition and winning.

IMPORTANT: Please read this warning and consult your physician before starting this or any exercise or diet program.

What is a Decathlon?
Decathlon is an Olympic sporting event combining 10 track and field sports that are completed over 2 days. These sporting events are: 100-meter sprint, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, 400-meter dash, 100-meter hurdle, long jump, shot put, high jump, 1,500-meter track. Due to the significant differences between these sporting events, Decathlon athletes must posses an impressive array of strength, endurance and technical skills in order to qualify and compete in a Decathlon.

What are the 10 Events of the Summer Decathlon?
  • Event 1: ¼ mile run + 25 Dumbbell Lunges   (DB Weight- TBW*: W**20% / M30%)
  • Event 2: ¼ mile run + 20 Plyo box Jumps (or) Step Overs
  • Event 3: ¼ mile run + 25 Medicine ball Set Ups   (MB Weight: W 10lbs / M 14lbs)
  • Event 4: ¼ mile run + 25 Lat Pull Downs   (Machine weight- TBW: W30% / M50%)
  • Event 5: ¼ mile run + 500-meter Row

**W: Women, M: Men

What are the rules?
  • All events must be completed the same day.
