Benchmark Battles 2023
About This Competition
Fitness Coliseum is bringing you our FIRST true CrossFit Competition!
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!
