I haven’t seen this suggested before, so I’ll put it on the table: why isn’t there a Freeletics Games?

HYROX has built a global race format, CrossFit has the Games, and even TRX has introduced its own competitive series. Freeletics already has something many of those brands had to build from scratch: a massive global, digital-first community and a training methodology that’s inherently measurable and scalable.

A Freeletics Games feels like a natural next step for three reasons:

  1. The community is already primed for it.
    A lot of Free Athletes don’t just train—we test ourselves. Many of us compete in HYROX, CrossFit-style events, runs, triathlons, and endurance races, and we use Freeletics as the engine behind our conditioning. The appetite for a “prove it” stage clearly exists. Right now, that competitive energy is happening outside Freeletics.

  2. Freeletics is uniquely suited to a fair, scalable competition format.
    Because the platform is built around structured sessions, clear standards, and repeatable workouts, it’s well positioned for a format that can run:

  • Online qualifiers (standardised workouts, video submission, leaderboard filtering), followed by

  • Regional live events, and then

  • A finale where the top athletes compete head-to-head.

This plays directly to Freeletics’ strengths: accessibility, consistency, and global reach.

  1. It would be a major brand and product unlock.
    A Freeletics Games would create a flagship moment each year that drives:

  • community engagement and retention,

  • content and storytelling (athletes, journeys, rivalries, comeback arcs),

  • partnerships and sponsorships, and

  • a stronger identity for what it means to be a “Free Athlete” at the highest level.

This doesn’t need to start huge. It could begin with a simple pilot:

  • 2–3 workout online qualifier

  • top X per region

  • one live event weekend with a small number of events (strength-endurance, aerobic capacity, mixed modal)

  • clear movement standards and divisions (men/women, age groups, maybe scaled/elite)

So, genuine question: is this something Freeletics has considered? And if not—why not? Because from where I’m sitting, the community, the platform, and the timing all point in the same direction.

I can’t be the only one thinking this. Who else would want to compete in a Freeletics Games—and what would you want the format to look like?

Love this! Would be so cool to see people racing on Helios for example! Or even a weighted vest version of the Gods

Thanks for this great sugestion. I love that idea and would be so happy to combine Freeletics training and competing. There was at least this Freeletics event, that went in the right direction, in my opinion: https://www.freeletics.com/en/blog/posts/freeletics-euro-cup/#:~:text=Results%20will%20be%20shared%20Monday,CET%20on%20Sunday%2C%20July%2014.
