Benchmark Battles 2024
About This Competition
Fitness Coliseum is bringing back your favorite CrossFit Competition filled with the CLASSICS (with a twist, of course)!
Teams of two (MM/FF/MF) will work together to complete challenging and fun twists on some of our favorite CrossFit benchmark workouts!
We chose this format because benchmarks are benchmarks for a reason. They are some of the truest tests of our overall fitness, capacity and skill, and THAT is what we want this competition to be!
RX and Scaled divisions will be available, and you can compete on same sex or mixed teams, with a podium for all 6 divisions!
We have some fun, custom SWAG planned for participants as well so GET READY!

Workout 1 will be a version of “Jackie”
Original Jackie:
1000m Row
50 Thrusters (45/35)
30 Pull Ups
Our version will have you working up and back down through Jackie with a couple twists! We’re keeping the integrity of the chipper style of this workout, challenging you to hit some big sets!
Partners will start on machines, one on a rower, one on an erg bike. You will accumulate 1000m rowing and 2000m biking. Once both distances are complete you can move on.
Partner 1 will then go to the wall and complete ALL 50 of the first set of wall balls (our sub for the thruster), once partner 1 has completed ALL the wall balls, partner 2 may then jump in and complete a full set of 30 pull ups. Once complete, partner 1 may then complete their set of 30 pull ups, followed by partner 2 completing all 50 of their wall balls.
Partners will then return to the machines (the opposite of where you started) and do a buy out of the same distances.
RX: 20/14# wall balls, Chin over bar pull ups
Scaled: 14/10# Wall Balls, Body rows (see link to body row demo video here >> https://youtu.be/nlREoHkNrsk?si=Cjf3UW727k47Nv6g
