It’s not just a comp — it’s an experience the entire region looks forward to every year.
What Is It?
Fittest in the West is a same-sex pairs CrossFit competition hosted by Athletica Training (formerly Wiser1 / CrossFit Ipswich).

Same-sex pairs format (Male/Male, Female/Female).

Will it run smoothly?
Will there be enough space, structure, and support for athletes to do their best?
Will the vibe actually match the effort you’ve put in to get there?
