Do you want to prepare for the 2025 Italian Showdown? Not sure which division is right for your abilities? Preview three competition-like workouts!
The new ability divisions that we have introduced for the tenth edition of the Italian Showdown are based on the most common characteristics of those who attend the classes, rather than on an ideal “Regional Level” athlete as is usually done for workout programming.
The target of this change is to make the first entry level to the competition more accessible and, at the same time, bring the intermediate and upper levels closer to all those who train in class and wish to test themselves with new accessible challenges.
The requirements for the new ability divisions and details on the age ranges are already available on the official website and in the rulebook of the 2025 Italian Showdown but, to give everyone a practical guide to the new system, we have decided to open the Free Trial.
The Free Trial is a fitness test open to everyone to measure their skill level, consisting of 3 workouts in 2 weeks based on elements and modalities similar to those found at the Italian 2025 Showdown. It is not a qualification and no registration is required.
Anyone can independently participate in the Free Trial to test the loads and skills of the new ability levels, so as to be able to make a thoughtful and informed choice of the division best suited to their abilities, well in advance of the opening of registrations.
Obviously, the Free Trial workouts are not identical to those that will be found in the competition and which will be revealed during the month preceding the event, but they are designed taking into account the elements and modalities that all athletes will have to face live on the competition floor.
