The Chalk Throwdown is a team of 2, same sex pairs fitness event that is open to any member who wants to take part. It's designed for all fitness levels offering a beginner, intermediate and advanced division so whether you’re new to the gym, a weekend warrior or veteran to the sport of CrossFit, this event will provide a platform for you to ex press your fitness.
Our one-day even is all about celebrating what your body can do, and it’s going to have the best of everything; the experience of competing in a real event with judges, heat times, multiple workouts in the day, but also in the comfort of your own gym with your fellow classmates pushing you on, competing with you, and wanting to see you at your best.
No matter where you are in your fitness journey, we see this as an opportunity to celebrate our fitness and have some fun with the Chalk community.
2023 Throwdown
The competition will kick-off at 8:00AM on Sunday 1st October and competitors will complete 3-5 fun, diverse events throughout the day to test their fitness. Three to five workouts in a single day may seem like a lot, but we have carefully considered all workout components to ensure participants in each category will be challenged appropriately.
All workouts will be released once registration closes. If you're unsure what category to compete in, use the guide below to help you decide what division is most suitable for you.
