Battle For The Midlands resturns in 2022 with the Spring Series in March! This is a same-sex pairs functional fitness event, held over two days. There are no qualifier workouts and teams will be split into two categories based on their performance in the first 3 workouts on day 1.

The teams are same-sex pairs and the athletes in each team should be of equal fitness and abilities to ensure they both get the most out of the competition.

There are no qualifiers for this competition, as the first three workouts on day 1 will decide the category that each team competes to be champion of. There will be the same categories as last year, with the BFTM Trophy (scaled) and the BFTM Cup (Rx’d).

Once the athletes have completed all three seeding workouts on day 1, they will then complete two more workouts on day 2 before a cut is made for the Finals of each category on the afternoon of day 2. Therefore, each team is guaranteed to complete five workouts before a cut is made.

The standards that will be expected from athletes in each category are as follows:

BFTM Trophy Athletes

Female - 16kg KB swings, GTOH 35kg, Box Jumps to a 20" box, press ups.

Male - 24kg KB swings, GTOH 50kg, Box Jumps to a 24" box, press ups.
