The AusFitness Expo is the Southern Hemisphere’s largest celebration of fitness, health and wellness. Kicking off in Sydney this September 19-21 and returning to Melbourne in March, the expo is packed with something for everyone. From high-energy live sports and interactive fitness challenges to the latest wellness snacks, exclusive discounts, and more - this is the ultimate weekend for fitness enthusiasts. 
 
Here are five things to expect at the event this year.
 
Fitness Racing
There's no doubt that fitness racing is a global phenomenon right now. So, if you want to try something new and test your skills, you can try both YOHKA and DEKA at the AusFitness Expo this year.
 
YOHKA will be setting up a short, sharp, Ninja-Style obstacle course that somewhat reflects the course going into the 2028 Olympic Games as part of the Modern Pentathlon. Anyone can try it, no matter what your fitness levels are or your age. Test your grip strength and agility on monkey bars, rings and the legendary warped wall. 
 
DEKA, however, is the decathlon of functional fitness, a high-energy, 10-zone test of grit, power, and endurance. With movements like box jumps, ski erg, rowing, and more, this gym-style race is designed to challenge athletes of all levels. Whether you’re a HIIT junkie, CrossFit regular, or just someone who loves a good sweat this is your moment to throw down and earn your DEKA MARK on the biggest fitness stage in the country. This event is brought to you by Spartan. 
 
 
Unique Sporting Competitions and Records On The Line
AusFitness Expo is famous for showcasing one-of-a-kind sporting events that are as thrilling to watch as they are to compete in. From the Strongman showdown, featuring Atlas stones, monster dumbbells, and other draw-dropping feats of strength, to powerlifting, street workouts, street lifting, and the CrossFit Expo Games, the action never stops.
