Category Explanations
All the atmosphere. Less weight. Full send.
This is where it starts.
The Everyday Division is the entry point to the Turf Games built for athletes who train a few times a week, are new to fitness competitions, or have only dipped their toe in before.
If you want to get on the TURF, compete alongside your community and soak up the atmosphere, but aren’t looking to go heavy on the weighted elements, this is your lane.
You enjoy working together, pushing yourself, and seeing what you’re capable of - without the pressure of elite-level loads or any high skilled movements. You’ll still be challenged - just in a way that prioritises movement, effort, and teamwork over max strength.
Come for the challenge. Leave with clarity on your strengths, your weaknesses, and what’s next - and get some great content while you are at it!
This division is about participation, teamwork, and earning the Turf experience.
Heavier loads. Faster racing. No shortcuts.
This is where it levels up.
The Intermediate Division is the next step on the Turf - built for athletes who train consistently and have experience in fitness competitions. The Intermediate division is your step up from Everyday, and your shot at testing yourself against stronger, sharper teams.
You’ve competed before. Maybe you’ve even hit the podium in the Everyday Division. Now it’s time to move up and see where you really stand.
If you’re a coach, PT, or come from a solid sporting background, you’ll feel right at home here. Expect workouts that are similar Elite - but with more accessible loading and a field that matches your level.
This isn’t beginner anymore. But it’s not quite elite. It’s the proving ground.
You belong here if:
- You only scale workouts occasionally
- You train consistently (3-4+ times a week) with a structured approach
- You’re comfortable lifting moderate to heavy weights
- You’ve competed before or podiumed in Everyday-level comps (like Turf Everyday)
- You’re ready to level up
What to expect:
- Competitive, high-energy programming
- No high-skill gymnastics (no muscle-ups, handstands, or overhead squats)
- Some light-to-moderate skill elements (e.g. toes-to-bar may appear for 1 teammate per team)
- Tight competition across well-matched teams
Plenty on the line. Come ready to work. Leave with confidence, perspective, and momentum forward.
Podium finishes, partner prizes, and serious bragging rights.
This is where you prove you’re ready for the next level.
Defined by consistency. Proven on the Turf.
Athletes and teams who are the best of the best - there aren't any holes in your game! You want to vie for top spot and be crowned the undisputed best team on the Turf. You are on the TURF to really push yourself, go up against some great functional fitness athletes and you want to go all in - just like the way you train!
Example of people who should enter the elite category are -
- You don't scale workouts at your gym
- You have been training for some time and have a structured, progressive approach to your training
- You train 4-5+ times per week
- You lift heavy (RX level weights)
- You have competed at multiple fitness comps before or have been on the podium in the Turf Intermediate Division
- There will not be any hand stands, muscle ups or high skilled gymnastics. You should be able to perform reps of TTB (toes to bar), rope climbs
DIVISION SELECTION
Choosing Your Division
With more athletes than ever taking part in Turf Games, it’s important that teams enter the division that best reflects their current level of functional fitness.
Use the table below as a guide to help you choose the division that’s right for your team. The aim is to create the best possible competition for everyone, so please consider your team’s overall ability when making your selection.
Key Things to Know
- The table is a guide, not a complete list. The movements and weights shown are examples of what you may encounter and are not an exhaustive list of competition movements.
- Weights are based on working capacity, not 1RM strength. You should be comfortable performing approximately 5–8 reps at the listed weight, rather than being able to complete a single rep.
- Dumbbell movements may include squats, thrusters, Devil’s Press, shoulder-to-overhead, hang clean & press, dumbbell snatches and similar movements.
- No division will include muscle-ups, handstand push-ups (HSPU) or handstand walks.
- Weights are listed Male / Female. For example, Everyday Dumbbell means males use 1 × 17.5kg dumbbell and females use 1 × 10kg dumbbell.
- EDAY = Everyday Division.
Everyday Division — Female
The maximum dumbbell-to-shoulder weight will be 20kg. However, athletes should be comfortable carrying a 30kg dumbbell for 20m.
TTB — Intermediate
For Male and Female teams of 4, a minimum of 1 athlete should be able to perform toes-to-bar (TTB).
For Mixed teams of 4, a minimum of 1 male and 1 female athlete should be able to perform TTB.
