POWERED BY GYMSHARK
We’re turning everyday gym movements into an electrifying new sport. Think: bench press, deadlift, squat, run, row and more — all transformed into a high-energy, team-driven competition. With a scoring system that balances height, weight, age, and gender, every athlete counts. Build your squad with a mix of unique talents and push your gym to the top.
Season 1 is here.
Kick things off at the iconic Gymshark Lifting Club, where you’ll join our onboarding experience. Learn how to bring the league to life in your gym, run squad sessions around the core movements, and start crafting your ultimate team to represent your facility at the live final — hosted at the Gymshark Lifting Club itself.
And the challenge? You’ll be going head-to-head with the LC — the very first gym to enter the league.
This is your shot to make history.
Game on.

scoring & Squad
Scoring in the League will be facilitated by Archon’s rating, which considers factors such as height, weight, age, and sex assigned at birth. Think Golf handicap and pound for pound.
You can use the app with all of your members who will form your squad. Select the best 4 to compete at the final.
Divisions
We will start with two divisions for the league, this way, throughout the season, you may find you and your members fluctuating between divisions depending on your performances. But it’s where you sit at the end of the season that will dictate which final you will attend.
The idea is then to have promotion and relegation as part of the off season so that the following season you will start off where you placed at the final in each divisional final.
divisions
In line with the evolution of any competitive league, we aim to establish divisions to accommodate the diverse capabilities and aspirations of each league. The Division Principle ensures that partaking gyms can field multiple squads across different divisions, fostering inclusivity and maximising participation.
This structure promotes a more participatory exercise, allowing other gyms ample opportunities for representation and success.
Furthermore, the introduction of divisions enables league participants to experience promotion and relegation dynamics, mirroring the competitive spirit of traditional sports leagues. This dynamic system encourages growth, fair competition, and continuous improvement across all levels of participation.
