Unleashing Potential
The Academy Programme, in partnership with AoC Sport, Burnley College, and WIT Fitness, proudly presents The College Fitness Games—a compelling fitness competition designed to identify the ‘fittest’ student across AoC Sport member colleges. This multi-stage event not only challenges students physically but also nurtures their mental resilience and teamwork skills.
The Stages of Competition
Qualifying Workouts: The competition kicks off with two initial workouts. The first, “Jumanji,” is a 12-minute AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible) session consisting of 12 Dumbbell Snatches, 12 Box Jumps, and 12 AB Mat Sit Ups, challenging students to maximize their repetitions within the time cap. The second workout, “Into the Wild,” involves six rounds of American Kettlebell Swings, Air Squats, and Lunges, with a strict 18-minute time cap to test endurance and strength.
Semi-Finals: Hosted by Burnley College, this phase includes a mix of power cleans, burpees, and thrusters within a tight five-minute window, pushing the athletes’ speed and power to the limits. Additionally, competitors engage in a Kipping Toes to Bar AMRAP and a tactical “Helen” workout, comprising a 400m Run, Hang DB Snatches, and Wall Walks, aimed at testing their strategic pacing and stamina.
Grand Finals: The culmination of the games takes place at CattleDog CrossFit in Northampton, where finalists strive to outperform one another under the highest pressure.
Beyond the Games

It encourages educational institutions to become CrossFit affiliates, offering a pathway for schools and colleges to integrate CrossFit into their curricula without the standard affiliation costs. This initiative supports physical education in a novel and engaging way, promoting fitness and health among students.
