DEKAFIT by Spartan Becomes AFS Sponsor; Major Presence Planned at SUCCEED! 

‘Spartan-created Indoor Fitness Competition’


(MINNEAPOLIS, MN, BOSTON, MA January 6, 2020)  – The Association of Fitness Studios (AFS) today proudly announced and welcomed the addition of DEKAFIT – the newest fitness competition from Spartan Race - to its sponsorship ranks for both AFS and SUCCEED! 2020.

Spartan Race is well known around the world for bringing obstacle course racing to all levels of athletes. From Boston to California, Australia to Iceland the industrious sporting giant never stops evolving.  It makes sense that Spartan would step into the indoor fitness space and launch a “DEKAthlon” and training program for the masses. 

DEKAFIT events are presently being scheduled in major markets throughout 2020 (1st one is slated for Denver, CO on March 21st) and will be open for all fitness levels (from novice fitness enthusiasts to elite athletes). 

One of the first opportunities for fitness studio and gym owners to experience DEKAFIT will be at SUCCEED! 2020 – AFS annual Convention & Expo, April 30-May 3 in Irvine, CA.

“Spartan has been on the cutting edge of fitness competition and enthusiasm since they came on the scene,” said Josh Leve, AFS founder and CEO. “We’re thrilled that DEKAFIT has become an AFS sponsor and we’re especially excited to see the ‘real deal’ at SUCCEED! We know that participation will have a major impact on their business.” 

DEKAFIT is built from an ancient test that will ten “x” your motivation, community and performance. The event consists of 10 functional fitness zones designed in an arena to deliver the most inspiring and memorable fitness experience ever witnessed. DEKAFIT also provides licensing and training programs designed to attract and retain gym members and clients.

“We are truly passionate and excited about providing memorable experiences for ALL levels of fitness, training and exercise programming with a purpose, and a motivational tool for gym operators that connects their communities,” said Jarod Cogswell, Director of DEKAFIT Sport & Education. “This will be the game changer of fitness.”
