ATHX vs Conquer Fitness : distance, stations, prix et difficulté comparés (2026-27)

ATHX is a UK-born hybrid fitness competition, co-founded by coach Ollie Marchon, that now runs events across the UK, Europe and the United States. Each ATHX event is a continuous 2.5-hour session across six zones. Every competitor completes the same three workouts: a Strength zone (20 minutes), an Endurance zone (30 minutes) and a MetCon X zone (30 minutes). These are separated by a warm-up zone, a refuel zone and a recovery zone. The workouts and movement standards are published for each season.

Athletes enter as singles or pairs, in an ATHX or a harder ATHX PRO category, and pairs can be same-sex or mixed. Season results lead to the ATHX Finals, held in Lisbon in 2026. The fixed rest periods and clear divisions make ATHX accessible to first-timers, while the strength element suits athletes who lift as well as run and row.

Conquer Fitness is a UK organiser of hybrid fitness races that combine running with functional workout stations. Its events offer solo and team categories and are designed to be open to athletes of all fitness levels.

Its main format is Level Seven: seven endurance-based workouts, or levels, completed back to back against the clock with a 450 m run between each one. Level Seven runs in spring and autumn at Alderley Park, Macclesfield, with categories for solos, mixed teams and same-sex teams and a compulsory seeding workout used to set start waves. Super Seven is a stadium version held at Northwood Stadium, using indoor sports hall workouts and track elements while keeping seven workouts. Station work includes rowing, SkiErg, bike erg, sandbag lunges, tank pushes, farmers carries, devil's presses and shield carries. From 2026, results are recorded per level and masters (45+) podiums were added.
