Its back for 2024 - Scale It Up Triple Threat.
This is a competition for teams made up 3 same-sex team members.! It is an entry-level competition for beginners looking to get competition experience, have fun and maybe win some prizes along the way. If you’re new to functional fitness or competing then this is the comp for you!
The comp is comprised of 4 WOD’s with all teams doing all 4, and all team members participating in each of the workouts. There is something for everyone. Workouts are designed to let beginners shine in their areas of strength and push their boundaries in others. As a beginners comp, you can rest assured there won’t be any technical gymnastics and all weighted elements can be and are scaled. There really is no reason why anyone wanting to compete can’t get involved!
On the day we have a food vendor, great coffee and plenty of snacks and the prize stash is well worth winning!
Our judges are friendly and supportive and we release the WODs the week before so participating athletes have a chance to game plan and practice them.
A full briefing takes place on the morning of the competition so you can be sure of movement standards and ask any questions you may have.
The competition takes place on Sunday 28th April 2024 at our St Philips Gym in Bristol, BS2 0XA.
Entry for the whole team is £120. Spectators are welcomed at no charge and with the mezzanine you are sure to get a great view!

Hello Scale It Up Triple Threat Athletes,
We hope you are as excited to come and throw down at Valesco St Philips (BS2 0XA) as we are to host you and in readiness for the event we wanted to share a few bits of information that we thought would be important in the run up to the day itself.
If you are Facebook please add and follow our page for this event - link here.
We will be releasing a workout per day here on the Throwdown Hub and also on our FB page starting on Monday 22nd April. If you have questions about the workout please comment on the FB post so we can answer everyone at the same time, as if you're thinking it someone else is likely to be too.
Full running times for the day will be released this week but doors open at 8.30am, Athlete Registration needs to be completed by 8.50am and Athlete Briefing will be at 9am sharp.
Please ensure all Team members are at Valesco St Philips (we have three gyms so please make sure you come to the right one) by 8.45am at the very latest. Prize Giving is planned for 4pm.
We are very easy to find and the postcode for Satnav, if required, is BS2 0XA and it's Unit 1 40 - 46 Albert Road, St Philips, Bristol.
If you spot the big blue bridge we are just under that, to the left of Johnston's Paint.
There is plenty of secure off road parking but if these spaces are full we ask that you park sensibly around the surrounding quiet roads.
We have 'I Scream Tacos" catering the event this year and will be providing lunch to buy including Vegan, Diary Free and Gluten free options plus cold drinks. We will also be selling tea, coffee, Nocco and protein bars that can be paid for by cash or card inside the gym.
Portable toilets have been hired and are available outside for your use – the two toilets inside are out of use for the day of the competition, as they simply can't handle the volume of....hmmm.......traffic!
A number of you are still missing athlete information of Team Names need to be confirmed.
Please can you do this ASAP?
There is an article here: http://help.throwdownhub.io/en/articles/5490540-managing-your-team that can help you add your team members if you are unsure how to do this.
Any issues now, or before the day, please email scaleitup@valesco.fitness and we will come back to you within 24 hours at a maximum.
We are so excited to be holding the event for you and we look forward to meeting you all on Sunday 28th.
Amy, Ellie and Leila.
