ABOUT
FITNESS REIMAGINED FROM ANCIENT TRADITION
The PALESTRA Combat Fitness Games is a non-contact fitness competition measuring speed, power and endurance through combat-inspired functional fitness workouts. Named after the palaestra of Ancient Rome - a classical training ground for wrestling and boxing - it draws from tradition and fuses the grit of combat sports with the intensity of modern fitness.
With scalable events, global rankings, and an immersive spectator experience, PALESTRA welcomes participants of all levels. Whether competing or watching, expect raw energy, warrior spirit, and elite athleticism in one unforgettable arena.
