CrossFit EXPO Games

The official and licensed CrossFit EXPO Games are back, showcasing elite, masters (age-based) and adaptive athletes across a series of high-performance events. Hosted by CrossFit SFS, the Sydney leg of the competition will take place live at the Expo in September.

Spectators can witness some of the best in the sport compete, and aspiring athletes can register to be part of the action through CrossFit SFS.

Search4Hurt Challenge

Think you’ve got what it takes to be on TV? The Search4Hurt team will be filming a new episode live at the Expo, putting contestants through a series of gruelling challenges designed to push mental and physical limits.

They'll also have a cardio challenge set up at their booth for anyone brave enough to give it a go. Whether you’re aiming for a spot on the show or just want to test your fitness, this one's guaranteed to get your heart racing. 

Calisthenics

Prefer body weight training? Don’t miss the Calisthenics Zone, where you can watch (or try) impressive strength and agility moves like muscle-ups, planches and human flags. This area celebrates the power of training with your own body, and it is open to all skill levels from beginner to advanced.

The Streetlifting Australia section of the calisthenics zone will be hosting National finals on the Saturday and Sunday, so if you want to be part of the more casual competition, Friday will be the day for you to attend. You can sign up via their instagram.

So no matter what your preference, the AusFitness Expo Sydney is the place to be this September.
