1st Annual Squat Competition

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.
