If you aren't already excited for the 2017 Wodapalooza and Miami Fitness Festival, now is the time to start. Wodapalooza is yet again changing the game with three new Thursday events for weekend spectators and festival attendees.

With a location like Miami and access to some of the best weather and water around, a stand up paddleboarding community event is a no-brainer.

Obstacle course racing is an incredibly fun and exciting way to spend a day and with a team based sprint course, the WZA team is introducing a new twist the phrase "walk in the park."

The event I'm most excited for, the WZA Weightlifting Faceoff is a bracketed weightlifting tournament with four rounds. The opening round is scored by Sinclair coefficient, the quarterfinals are testing the snatch, the semifinals are testing the clean & jerk, and the finals are again testing the total.
