Fittest began in 2018 with a vision to unite the Upstate fitness community and provide a platform to find the fittest male and female in the Upstate of South Carolina. In the following years Fittest evolved to encompass the state of South Carolina as a whole. The Fittest season starts at the CrossFit Open where 2,000+ athletes throwdown in their local Affiliates or garages and are ranked against each other over three weeks. From there, the top 25% of athletes will move on and compete in the CrossFit Quarterfinals. At the end of Quarterfinals, the athletes that land themselves in a Qualification Spot for Fittest will be invited to compete the weekend of June 21-23, 2024.
When the athletes arrive at Fittest, they will walk into a competition hall that boast two competition floors setup professionally and laid out to tell the story of each workout that unfolds as the athletes give their best across the three days of competition. We strive to provide programming that is fun, challenging, and balanced so the athletes can showcase their hard work, while at the same time making the viewing experience enjoyable for those that may not have participated in a CrossFit workout before. At the end of the weekend our mission would be to inspire spectators that have never walked through a CrossFit Affiliates door to take the leap.
At the competition you will also find a large Vendor Village, an athlete hangout area and a well equipped warmup area for athletes to prepare for each workout. In addition, there will be a DJ spinning music as well as seating all around the competition floor for the athletes and spectators to watch the workouts.
