DEKA FITNESS EVENTS Solihull

The Hampton Health and Fitness club is proudly bringing DEKA Fitness Races to the Solihull area from January 2025 and beyond!

DEKA is part of the Spartan global fitness racing brand, and is the ultimate test of strength, endurance, and grit. Featuring standardised fitness tests designed to push your limits and celebrate your progress.

Race casually to earn your DEKA Mark (time and stats) and use as a benchmark to gauge your fitness progress throughout the year, or really go all out and push to compete with the global leaderboard and go to the world championships.

The 10 DEKA Zones provide a well rounded functional test for all levels of fitness. Every zone is based on rudimentary movements that don’t require any specific training or education to complete. Think thousands of years ago when it wasn’t called exercise, fitness, or training. It was survival. Lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, kneeling, jumping/stepping/climbing over something, getting down on the ground and standing back up, and three basic forms of transportation – row, ski, & cycle.

The DEKA Strong event is the 10 zones only, DEKA Mile has a 160mt run between each zone (1 mile total) and the DEKA Fit has a total of 5km running.

In a nutshell, YOU!

We love our HYROX, but see that some people are put off either by the elite nature of the contestants or that they have to travel large distances to compete.

DEKA on the other hand is run out of our own facilities, it is open to ages from 10+ and can be as fun or as serious as each participant wants it to be.

We see this as a brilliant opportunity to have some friendly in club competition, maybe even some in-family competition (if your kids are old enough), business v’s business, gym v’s gym or even village v’s village – you get the idea.

As we have said, DEKA is very inclusive and the only pace is set by yourself. We encourage everyone to use this as a benchmarking tool with friends and family to help keep you on track with your fitness goals in 2025 and beyond!

DEKA allows us to have a bit of fun with fitness, build community spirit, whilst benchmarking your own fitness and progressing to a healthier you.
