Your Ultimate Fitness Challenge! Hybrid Training for All Levels!
Welcome to EMS Fitness Norwich, the proud sole host of DEKA in Norwich – the ultimate fitness challenge designed for all. Originating from the creators of the Spartan Race, DEKA is not just a competition; it’s a celebration of fitness for individuals at every level.
DEKA is the decathlon of modern fitness, featuring 10 unique DEKA Zones. Each zone tests essential functional skills such as lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, and basic forms of transportation like rowing, ski and cycling. This approach creates a well-rounded functional fitness test accessible to everyone, from recreational to seasoned athletes.
DEKA Events
Our affiliated gym is thrilled to host two distinct DEKA formats:
DEKA STRONG is a rigorous fitness test encompassing 10 DEKA Zones of fundamental functional movements, perfect for those who wish to focus on strength and endurance without the component of running.
DEKA MILE uniquely combines these DEKA Zones with 160-meter running intervals between each, culminating in a total of a 1-mile run, offering a balanced challenge of running and functional fitness. Both events provide members and non-members a fantastic opportunity to test their abilities and establish new fitness benchmarks.
