Our 1st Annual Squat Competition will take place in the Athletic Training Center of our Transbay Gym. Ready to lift?

Think you’ve got what it takes? Prove it under the bar.

FITNESS SF is proud to host our inaugural Squat Competition — a battle of strength, endurance, and mental grit. Competitors will go head-to-head in an AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible) format, squatting a fixed weight to depth, with hips breaking the top of the knee line on every rep. No ego lifting — just clean, judged reps and raw determination.

This is the first of what will be an annual tradition. Come be part of history.
