ATHX vs. REDLINE Fitness Games: Distanz, Stationen, Preis & Schwierigkeit im Vergleich (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.

REDLINE Fitness Games is a gamified functional fitness race series created in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 2023 and organised by Fresh Events Asia Sdn Bhd. It has expanded across Southeast Asia, with events in Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Singapore and Ho Chi Minh City.

The race takes participants through 12 workout stations, including a 500 m run, SkiErg, deadball over shoulder, BikeErg, farmers carry, shuttle runs, plank pull, sandbag gauntlet, rowing, burpee thrusters, sandbag carries and a final sled push and pull. The workout is standardised for each calendar year, with two or three stations changed annually. Singles race at three levels (Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced) for men and women, alongside men's, women's and mixed doubles and four-person team relays. The organiser says the race takes about 30 to 55 minutes depending on level. The Beginner level makes it accessible to gym-goers new to fitness racing.
