THE SERIES
The Throwdown Series is Western Canada’s premier functional fitness competition series, bringing together athletes of all abilities for an unforgettable test of strength, skill, and grit. What began in 2014 as a single event nestled between 2 lakes in Penticton, BC has grown, evolved, and flourished into the largest functional fitness competition series in the region.
​
Over the years, the series has changed ownership and found new energy, driven by a passion for creating a space where any fitness enthusiast can enter, be challenged, and leave inspired. Today, the Throwdown Series proudly hosts events in Penticton (Okanagan Valley Throwdown), Vancouver (Fraser Valley Throwdown), and — starting in 2025 — will expand to Alberta with the inaugural Bow Valley Throwdown.
​
Our mission is simple: to deliver professionally run competitions that are accessible to all levels, from first-time competitors to seasoned athletes. We believe in creating events that push athletes to new limits, foster community connections, and celebrate the spirit of functional fitness. Whether you’re stepping onto the competition floor or cheering from the sidelines, you’ll be part of something bigger — a community united by hard work, perseverance, and fun.
From its grassroots beginnings to becoming the largest functional fitness event series in Western Canada, the Throwdown Series continues to set the standard for fitness competitions across the region. We welcome athletes eyeing CrossFit competitions, high-energy fitness events, and accessible functional fitness challenges. We are proud to offer events where athletes can showcase their abilities across weightlifting, gymnastics, endurance, and more — all set against the backdrop of some of Canada’s most iconic venues.
​
We are excited to announce our next chapter: Calagry, here we come! The Bow Valley Throwdown will bring the same energy, inclusivity, and high standards that have made our other events so beloved.
