The story

It started as one competition.
Now it's a festival.

In 2012, Wodapalooza was a single-day, grassroots fitness competition in Miami: 145 athletes and 500 spectators. Every year since, more people showed up, and more of the fitness world came with them.

The Miami Beach Fitness Festival is what it grew into. Gymreapers Wodapalooza is still the heart of it, and all around it there's a full festival: strongman and Olympic lifting, grappling and the Gauntlet, a sunrise 5K, seminars, music, food and a brand expo. One beach, one crowd, one ticket.

Is Wodapalooza the same thing as the festival?

Wodapalooza is the flagship competition at the heart of it. The Miami Beach Fitness Festival is everything on the sand that weekend: Wodapalooza plus strongman, weightlifting, powerlifting, grappling, the Gauntlet, a 5K, the education stage, music, food and the Brand Expo.

Do I need a ticket for each event?

No. One spectator ticket covers every event and experience on the festival grounds that day. Athletes register separately for the competition they're entering.

Is Thursday really free?

Yes. Opening day, Thursday March 11, is free and open to the public. Tickets are needed Friday through Sunday.

Can I bring the kids?

Please do. The festival is all ages, and there are family activities all weekend. It's loud and busy, so ear protection for little ones is a good idea.

How do I compete?

Each competition has its own registration. Start at wodapalooza.com for Wodapalooza divisions; the other events open registration as they're announced.

Where do I park?

Parking in South Beach is very limited and fills up early. Rideshare, biking or the free Miami Beach Trolley are the easiest ways to get to Lummus Park.

Four days.
One beach.
Every discipline.

See you on the sand.
