Continuous 2.5-hour fitness competition across six zones, with one challenge per zone to test every aspect of fitness.
ATHX Games takes over NRG Center - Hall B on Saturday, October 17, 2026. It's a continuous fitness competition that runs for two and a half hours, and it's built around six different zones. Each zone has its own challenge, so you're moving through six distinct tests rather than sticking to one thing the whole time.
That's the core of it: one challenge per zone, six zones in total, all within that same window. The organizers describe it as a competition designed to test every aspect of fitness and push participants to the next level. Because it's continuous, you're not just doing a few sets and calling it a day; you're working through the zones one after another, so the endurance part is just as much a factor as the individual challenges themselves. If you're used to a gym routine where you focus on one thing at a time, this is a different kind of day—you'll be switching gears six times over the course of the morning.
The whole thing happens at the NRG Center in Hall B, which gives it plenty of room to spread those six zones out. It's a Houston-based event, so if you're already in the city, it's a straightforward trip to the NRG complex. The competition kicks off at 8 AM, and since it's a continuous format, you'll be through it by mid-morning. It's a Saturday, so you've still got the rest of your weekend ahead of you once you're done.
