BATTLE OF THE AGES '25 INDI COMP

BATTLE OF THE AGES '25 

A one-day Individual Fitness Competition honouring all ages!

Battle Of The Ages is a unique fitness competition designed to give every athlete the chance to compete on a level playing field, no matter their age or experience. Whether you're 15 or 55+, this event is your opportunity to step onto the floor with confidence, surrounded by others in the same stage of life.

We created this competition to remove the intimidation that can come with traditional "Open" individual comps. You won’t be going up against young guns in their prime or long-time veterans. Instead, you’ll compete against others in your own age bracket, in an environment that challenges, celebrates and respects every stage of the journey.

Our goal is simple: to bring together a wide range of athletes for a professional, inclusive, and energising competition experience that proves age is just a number.

First Heat Begins: 8:00am
Location: Benton Gym, Southern Highlands, NSW

Divisions
Both male and female divisions are available across the following age brackets.
Your division is based on your age on the day of competition.
Photo ID will be required at athlete check-in.

There are no RX or Scaled categories. Your age bracket is your division, making it an even and fair test across the board.

Programming
Programming has been designed by CrossFit Games athlete Ben Garard and the Benton Gym team, with a focus on well-rounded, inclusive fitness. Expect workouts that resemble the style and intensity of the CrossFit Open - built around foundational movements and work capacity, not elite-level gymnastics or complex heavy lifts.

All events have been tested by a wide range of Benton members to ensure they are challenging, achievable, and rewarding for athletes of all fitness levels.
