DEKA

Ten functional zones, three race distances.

What is DEKA?

DEKA is built on ten standardised functional fitness zones. DEKA FIT adds 500 m running segments between the zones, DEKA STRONG removes the running, and DEKA MILE compresses the whole thing into one mile of work.

History

Created by the team behind Spartan Race, DEKA brought obstacle-racing production values indoors and spread quickly through European gym networks and fitness expos.
