Three ways to race

The same ten zones in every DEKA event. What changes is the running between them.

  • DEKA FIT

    Ten zones with a 500 m run before each one. The longest of the three.

    5 km of running

  • DEKA MILE

    Ten zones with a 160 m run before each one. Short, fast and hard.

    1.6 km of running

  • DEKA STRONG

    Ten zones back to back, no running. A good first event.

    No running

We coach one to one as well, for extra time on the zones you find hardest. Performance membership includes 2 PT sessions a month. Ask about one-to-one coaching →

The ten zones

Every zone is coached in class, from the RAM lunges at the start to the burpees at the end.

  1. RAM alternating reverse lunges 30 reps
  2. Row 500 m
  3. Box step or jump overs 20 reps
  4. Medicine ball sit-ups 25 reps
  5. SkiErg 500 m

  7. Air bike 25 cal
  8. Dead ball shoulder overs 20 reps
  9. Sled push and pull 100 m
  10. RAM burpees 20 reps

Weights vary by division. DEKA FIT swaps in med ball sit-up throws and dead ball wall overs, and runs the farmers carry through a maze.

A row of rowing machines

Zone two: a 500 m row.

DEKA questions

What people ask before their first class.

Is The Hybrid Club an official DEKA gym?

Yes. We're an official Spartan-approved DEKA affiliate, so our classes are built around DEKA's ten zones and standards, and we host DEKA events at the club.

What's the difference between DEKA FIT, DEKA MILE and DEKA STRONG?

All three use the same ten zones. DEKA FIT puts a 500 m run before each zone, DEKA MILE a 160 m run, and DEKA STRONG has no running at all.

When are the DEKA classes?

Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:00, at our gym in Sutton Coldfield.

Do you host DEKA events?

Yes. We host DEKA events at the club, youth events included. The next one is DEKA STRONG on Sunday 10 January 2027, 9:00, and it's on our homepage.

Is DEKA good for beginners?

Yes. DEKA STRONG has no running, and every zone is coached and scaled in class, so it makes a good first event.
