Thanksgiving Throwdown - 2026

JOIN US FOR THE 10TH YEAR OF THE THANKSGIVING THROWDOWN
Grab your crew, build your superteam, and get ready to throw down. The Thanksgiving Throwdown is back for a full day of fitness, teamwork, strategy, and competition at Cumming Strength & Fitness.

[ ABOUT THE EVENT ]
The Thanksgiving Throwdown is built around one simple idea:
Great workouts. Great competition. Great people. One awesome day.
This is a one-day, team-based competition hosted entirely at Cumming Strength & Fitness.
You can expect a mix of strength, conditioning, skill, teamwork, and strategy designed to test your team without turning the day into an overly complicated competition.
And because this is a Superteam competition, you don't need every athlete to be great at everything.
Teams consist of 3–6 athletes, but only 3 athletes compete in each workout.
That means you'll need to build your roster, know your teammates' strengths, and strategically decide who takes the floor for each event.
We pride ourselves on running a competition that is organized, on-time, clearly communicated, challenging, and *most importantly* fun.
Whether you're coming to compete for the podium or simply want an awesome day throwing down with your friends, the Thanksgiving Throwdown is for you.

[ WHO THIS COMPETITION IS FOR ]
Athletes looking for a fun, challenging one-day competition
Friends who want to build a team and compete together
Teams that love strategy and collaboration, not just individual performance
Athletes who enjoy testing their strength, conditioning, and overall fitness
Competitors who want a well-run event without having to travel between multiple venues
Athletes of different ability levels who want to compete together through our Superteam format

[ WHO THIS COMPETITION IS NOT FOR ]
Athletes looking for an individual competition
Teams unwilling to strategically rotate athletes throughout the day
Athletes who aren't ready to compete hard, support their teammates, and have some fun doing it
Anyone expecting every athlete to compete in every workout—the strategy of the Superteam format is part of the competition
