Fitness World Canada Hosts Surrey’s First Spartan DEKA Event
30 Julio 2024 - 10:04AM
This summer, Fitness World Canada is bringing the world-renowned
Spartan DEKA Strong race to Surrey, BC. On Saturday, August 17,
2024, local competitors can test their fitness at the South Surrey
Signature Fitness World and compare their results to all DEKA
athletes around the world. The event, which runs from 9:00 am to
2:00 pm, invites participants to compete individually or as part of
a two-person team in a series of functional fitness challenges that
focus on testing both strength and cardio within 10 training zones
that are focused on rudimentary movement such as lifting, pushing,
pulling, & jumping.
The DEKA Strong event hosted in partnership with
Fitness World will celebrate fitness among both beginners and
high-level athletes, an inclusive philosophy that is shared by
Fitness World’s mission to create access to high-quality and
affordable fitness in the city. The event marks a first-of-its-kind
DEKA partnership with a South Surrey fitness club to bring a
globally recognized fitness event to the local fitness
community.
DEKA is a challenge inspired by the ancient Greek history of
gamification and testing fitness. Created by the well-known Spartan
Race, this challenge is a unique opportunity for the local fitness
community to come together on the same day to work on 10 functional
areas. The 10 zones are designed to start with basic movements that
come together to target the full body across the first 5 zones. The
final 5 zones ramp up the heat and are individually full-body
focused.
Brian Truong, Director of Fitness Education at Fitness
World, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration,
stating, "We are very excited to work together with DEKA Strong to
host this year’s event at our Signature Fitness World club in South
Surrey. We see this partnership as a great fit. Similar to DEKA’s
mission to make fitness fun and enjoyable for all, we take pride in
providing a welcoming and supportive environment where our
community can celebrate their fitness journey and achieve their
personal health goals.”
Event registration is open to the public, with participation
fees ranging from CAD$45 to CAD$59. To help participants prepare,
Fitness World is offering a DEKA WORX training program, providing
one class per week at each club location until August 15th, 2024
where members can work together with new and seasoned participants
to hone in on their skills ahead of the event.
Fitness World is reinforcing its commitment to promoting fitness
and wellness in local communities by partnering with SPARKLE, an
organization focused on Suicide Prevention through creating access
to activity, fitness, and nutrition. A percentage of ticket sales
proceeds from the event will be donated to support SPARKLE’s
mission.
