The spirit of GAMES

What is GAMES?

GAMES is FITISM's annual summer event, designed to bring our community together over 4 weeks through teamwork, friendly competition and plenty of laughs. This isn't about being the fittest person in the gym.

It's about:
Challenging yourself
Supporting your teammates
Meeting new people
Having fun
Being part of something bigger

‍The winners receive a trophy. Everyone else receives memories, stories and a few sore muscles.
