🏆 Podium – What Is It? Let's Clear Up Some of the Confusion

🏆 Podium – What Is It? Let's Clear Up Some of the Confusion

https://preview.redd.it/ed7dhlpqxb6h1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=70b5685e729765d81ffdabd593b05c211d33af8a

Hey all,

I thought I'd take the time to put this post together and share what I've gathered so far regarding Podium.

There seems to be a bit of confusion around exactly what Podium is, how the new session fits in, and how it relates to the recently announced Podium Series #1 event.

Based on the information shared by BFT HQ, studio posts, event material and member discussions, here's my understanding so far.

TL;DR

  • Podium consists of two parts
  • New Podium training session starts Saturday 13 June
  • Podium Series #1 competition event is 2 August 2026
  • Tickets release 15 June via the BFT App
  • Teams of 2
  • Four competition zones
  • Optional paid event
  • Multiple divisions available
  • More BFT-focused competition format rather than a traditional fitness race

Personally, I think it's exciting to see BFT continuing to evolve and introduce new challenges for members.

While Podium will naturally draw comparisons to HYROX, it appears to be a much more BFT-focused competition format.

Some key differences from what we've seen so far:

  • Team-based competition (Teams of 2)
  • Built around BFT-style training principles
  • Dedicated competition zones rather than moving station-to-station around a large course
  • No long running sections between workout stations
  • Greater emphasis on teamwork and shared strategy

Rather than trying to replicate another fitness event, it looks like BFT has created something that aligns closely with how members already train inside the studio.

From what has been shared so far, Podium is actually made up of two parts.

----------------

1. Podium Program Session

The first part is the new Podium training session, with the very first class scheduled for Saturday 13 June.

This is a new addition to the BFT programming lineup and appears to be designed to help build the fitness, skills and work capacity required for Podium-style competition.

Think of it as a training pathway that:

  • Builds strength and conditioning
  • Introduces competition-style training
  • Helps prepare members for future Podium events
  • Adds another option to the overall BFT programming schedule

Whether you plan on competing or not, it looks like it will become another regular session option within the BFT ecosystem.

----

2. Podium Series #1 (Competition Event)

The second part is the actual Podium competition event.

BFT HQ has now officially released details for Podium Series #1.

📅 Event Date: 2 August 2026
🎟️ Tickets Release: 15 June 2026
📱 Book via the Events section of the BFT Booking App

This is a completely optional event.

Like HYROX, it is a competitive fitness event designed for members who want to test themselves outside of the studio environment.

----

Team-Based Competition

One thing many people may have missed:

"No One Climbs The Podium Alone"

Podium Series #1 is competed in teams of two.

Available divisions:

  • Women's Open
  • Women's Pro
  • Men's Open
  • Men's Pro
  • Mixed Pro

----

Event Format

Teams will take on four different zones throughout the competition.

----

Competition Weights

The following weights apply during the Strength and Strength Endurance zones.

Division Trap Bar Deadlift Bench Press Kettlebell Dumbbell Wall Ball
Women's Open 60kg 25kg 10kg 7.5kg 4kg
Women's Pro 80kg 35kg 16kg 12.5kg 6kg
Men's Open 80kg 60kg 18kg 12.5kg 6kg
Men's Pro 100kg 80kg 24kg 17.5kg 9kg

Mixed Pro: Male partner completes Men's Pro weights and Female partner completes Women's Pro weights.

----

A Few Other Things Worth Mentioning

  • Participation in Podium Series #1 is optional.
  • There is a cost to enter, with pricing likely varying depending on studio, region and event arrangements.
  • Some studios may look to participate alongside neighbouring studios.
  • Depending on numbers and logistics, we may see inter-studio, regional or larger-scale Podium events.
  • More details will likely become available once registrations open and studios receive additional event information.

----

What Might Be Next?

One thing I noticed is that this event is called Podium Series #1.

While BFT has not officially announced any future Podium events beyond this one, the naming does suggest this may be the beginning of a larger competition series.

My personal guess is that we could eventually see multiple Podium events throughout the year, perhaps one in each half of the year, but that's purely speculation on my part.

We'll have to see how Series #1 is received and what BFT HQ announces afterwards.

----

Final Thoughts

At this stage, Podium looks like BFT's own unique competition format rather than simply being another HYROX-style event.

The new Podium session appears to be the training pathway, while Podium Series #1 is the competition itself.

For members who enjoy challenging themselves, working with a teammate and testing their fitness in a competitive environment, this looks like it could be a lot of fun.

I'm looking forward to experiencing the first Podium session this Saturday and learning more about how the format works.

Who's thinking about signing up for Podium Series #1?

Have you already got a teammate lined up? And if so, Open or Pro division?

🏋️ My One Hub: Built By A Member, For Members

Hey all.

After a lot of thought, I have decided My One Hub will have two versions.

🏋️ Training + Performance
📊 Training + Performance + Body Composition (TBD)

The reason is simple.

Not everyone does Evolt body scans.

Some people have years of training data, session history, PXI, benchmarks and PBs, but have never done a body composition scan. Others may only do scans occasionally or not want to track body composition at all.

So rather than forcing everyone into the full experience, there will now be a dedicated Training + Performance version. I know the Training + Performance + Body Composition version is much heavier and, to be honest, has certainly given me plenty of challenges along the way 😂

The best part?

✅ Start with Training + Performance
✅ Import your own data manually
✅ Upgrade to the full version later if you decide to add body composition tracking
✅ Data remains compatible between both versions

I wanted to get this version out so people can start adding their own data and putting it through its paces.

So what is actually included?

(Download Link Coming Soon)

Can't wait to launch this soon. :)

And then there is Yearly Review, which provides a much larger annual overview of your training journey, achievements, progress and performance.

-----------------------------------------------

⚠️ A quick note.

This isn't an app.

It's not a desktop program.

It's not backed by a development team.

It's essentially a large HTML dashboard powered by JavaScript and JSON data files.

Because of that, there are limitations, quirks and browser-specific behaviours that come with running entirely from a web page. Some can be improved over time, while others are simply limitations of browsers and local file security restrictions.

For example:

• Connected JSON file support currently works best in Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome
• This is because the dashboard uses browser file access features that are not fully supported across all browsers
• OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox integrations require the cloud folder to be synced locally through File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac)
• Some browsers restrict direct file access for security reasons
• Mobile browsers often have additional limitations compared to desktop browsers
• Large datasets may impact performance depending on your device, browser and available memory

The upside is your data stays with you.

✅ No subscriptions
✅ No servers
✅ No accounts
✅ No vendor lock-in

Just a dashboard and your own data.

The full Training + Performance + Body Composition version is still TBD.

But I think the Training + Performance version is getting close to being ready for people to start building their own data history.

Enjoy! I've spent countless hours building this, with AI helping me along the way. 🚀

The screenshots throughout in the feature images attached are taken directly from the dashboard itself, while AI helped put together many of the promotional showcase images and graphics around them.

Challenge podium

Question about how the studio podium works for the challenge. I’m currently in second place with one gold and the person in first place also has a gold for today’s session. Does the ranking also include closest to the PXI target? Could that be how they have 1st and I have 2nd regardless of both earning a gold?

My One Hub - Training. Performance. Body Composition.

Hey all.

Following on from my last post, the project has continued to evolve and has now become something much bigger.

What started as a simple spreadsheet, and later a BFT metrics tracker, is gradually becoming My One Hub, an all-in-one personal fitness analytics platform designed to bring training, performance, body composition and achievements together in one place.

Current areas include:

🏋️ TRAINING
• Sessions completed
• PXI tracking and targets
• Training time and calories
• Medal tracking and trends
• Attendance and activity trends
• Workout calendar views
• Goals and milestones
• Session insights and analytics

📈 PERFORMANCE
• PB tracking
• Strength benchmark history
• Conditioning benchmark history
• Benchmark progression over time
• Performance trends and improvements
• Training focus analysis

⚖️ BODY COMPOSITION
• Evolt scan tracking
• Weight trends
• Body fat percentage
• Lean body mass
• Skeletal muscle mass
• Visceral fat tracking
• Biological age
• Segmental body composition analysis
• Long-term progress and trend tracking

🏆 ACHIEVEMENTS & GAMIFICATION
• Achievement Hub
• Hundreds of unlockable badges
• Training milestones
• Attendance streaks
• PXI achievements
• Medal achievements
• Consistency rewards
• GOAT Score and rankings

The goal is to bring everything together in one place and be able to see not only how much training is being done, but whether performance and body composition are actually improving over time.

One of the coolest parts has been importing all of my BFT sessions and seeing the data come to life with trends, milestones, achievements and insights all in one place.

It now works entirely in a web browser, can be used offline, supports light and dark themes, and includes import/export functionality for backups and data portability.

One feature that took far longer than expected was getting backup and data sync functionality working, but it is finally starting to come together 😂

It is still very much a work in progress, with some areas unfinished and plenty of ideas still to be worked on. Features, layouts and functionality may continue to change as the project evolves, but it has been a fun project to build and a great way to visualise my fitness journey.

AI has helped speed up the development process, but there has still been plenty of planning, testing, troubleshooting, redesigning and tweaking involved along the way (and breaking things more than once 😂).

I have attached an updated demo video showing where My One Hub is at today. The video uses sample data for demonstration purposes.

What do you think?

If you could add one feature to a fitness analytics platform like this, what would it be?

It has been built with the help of AI as a functional HTML page, with JSON used for data storage, backups and portability.

It is still very much a work in progress and not quite ready for public release. There are still features to add, areas to refine and improvements to make, but it is already starting to come together really well.

[Week 1 – Commit to 30] Program Preview [AU/NZ]

Hey all. We move into Week 1 and officially begin the new Commit to 30 Block.

This week is all about setting the foundation for the next eight weeks. We are introduced to new class progressions, returning favourites, and fresh training formats designed to build strength, fitness, conditioning, and consistency.

Expect a mix of lower body strength, aerobic conditioning, upper body hypertrophy, high-intensity cardio, and strength-focused partner work throughout the week.

This is the high-level overview of the AU & NZ training week. Daily Intel posts with full breakdowns will follow.

Week 1 is about learning the new formats, establishing consistency, and starting the block strong.

Key Points

Monday 8 June – Pump (Lower Body)

We kick off the block with the first progression of Pump and a strong lower body focus.

There are 6 zones, each containing 2 alternating exercises. Members will complete 30-second working sets, alternating between both exercises for a total of 6 sets per zone.

Expect a strong emphasis on lower body strength, muscular endurance, and establishing movement quality for the block ahead.

Tuesday 9 June – Cardio U (Aerobic)

The first progression of Cardio U is an aerobic-focused session.

There are 3 zones, each containing 4 exercises. Members will work for 80 seconds per exercise, completing 2 full laps of each zone.

Heart rate targets will vary depending on the exercise and station.

Expect a focus on aerobic fitness, cardiovascular conditioning, and heart rate management.

Wednesday 10 June – Hyper (Upper Body)

Wednesday introduces the first progression of Hyper with an upper body focus.

Members will complete 3 sets on each exercise using 30 seconds work and 30 seconds recovery intervals.

Screen 2 will operate as the dedicated strength-focused screen throughout the session.

Expect a strong emphasis on upper body strength, hypertrophy, and movement control.

Thursday 11 June – Cardio HIIT

Thursday brings the first progression of Cardio HIIT.

There are 6 zones of 2 alternating exercises, with work intervals increasing throughout the session.

The progression follows:

10 seconds work / 20 seconds rest
15 seconds work / 20 seconds rest
20 seconds work / 30 seconds rest
25 seconds work / 30 seconds rest

Expect a focus on high-intensity efforts, work capacity, and repeat output.

Friday 12 June – Strength

The first progression of Strength introduces a completely different format from traditional strength sessions.

The class is split into two 20-minute blocks.

Block 1
Members work in groups of three, completing programmed reps across two exercises within a 3-minute working window.

Block 2
Members move into a follow-the-leader format, similar to previous Power sessions, alternating through exercises with their group.

This is a session where arriving on time will be extremely important due to the format and briefing requirements.

Expect a strong focus on strength development, teamwork, lifting quality, and group accountability.

Saturday 13 June – Podium (NEW)

Saturday introduces the first progression of the brand-new Podium session.

Unfortunately, no exercise details, format information, or class structure have been released at the time of writing.

Across all studio and coach sources reviewed so far, the details remain under wraps.

Looks like this one is being kept as a genuine surprise.

Expect more information once BFT officially reveals the format.

Built My Own BFT Metrics Dashboard

Hey all. Over the past week I have been working on a bit of a side project and thought I would share what I have been building.

What started as a basic Excel spreadsheet has evolved into a fully interactive BFT Metrics Dashboard that works both in your web browser and offline. After many iterations and improvements, it now tracks:

• Sessions completed
• PXI and monthly PXI targets
• Training time and calories
• Medal tracking and trends
• PBs and benchmark results (still some work to do there)
• Workout calendar views
• Goals and milestones
• Session insights and analytics
• Light and dark themes
• JSON import/export for backups

One of the coolest parts was importing all 539 of my sessions, from my very first session through to my latest, and seeing the data come to life with trends, milestones and achievements all in one place.

It is still a work in progress and will no doubt continue to evolve over time, but it has been a fun project and a great way to visualise my BFT journey.

AI helped speed up the process of building and refining it, but there was still plenty of planning, testing and tweaking involved along the way (and things breaking lol).

What do you think?

If you could add one feature to a BFT dashboard or tracking tool, what would it be? Keep in mind there are some limitations with HTML web pages, and I am definitely not a programmer!

Enjoy the screenshots below!

What is happening in NZ

Have noticed over the last few months that many BFTs in NZ are closing, opening independent businesses, or going into liquidation? Is this also happening in Australia?

Has HYROX become the main focus at most BFT studios?

Question for members across different BFT studios - is the current focus on HYROX something that's happening across the network, or is it more studio-specific?

At my studio, there seems to be a huge emphasis on HYROX. Members who are training for or have competed in HYROX get a lot of attention, recognition, and coaching support, which is great for them.

However, I've noticed that strength-focused sessions seem to receive much less coaching and guidance. During cardio and HIIT sessions, the trainers are highly engaged and energetic, but during strength sessions there is often limited technique correction, progression advice, or individual coaching.

I'm not anti-HYROX at all - I understand it's a big part of the fitness industry right now. I'm just curious whether this is a universal BFT trend or if it's more specific to certain studios and coaching teams.

Genuinely interested to hear whether my experience is common or unique to my studio.

Thanks :)

Does anyone know the exercises for Saturday? 👀

I’ve seen the Intel for week 1 on Insta but they didn’t show the Saturday workouts 👀 Just curious if it’s straight cardio, weights or both 🤔

Commit to 30 Block Overview [AU/NZ]

We are officially kicking off a brand new 8 Week Commit to 30 Block across AU and NZ.

This block is all about consistency, commitment, and progression.

Over the next eight weeks, the focus shifts toward building strength, improving conditioning, and creating momentum through consistent training. Whether your goal is to improve performance, build muscle, increase fitness, or simply establish better habits, this block is designed to reward those who keep showing up.

As the coaches said, summer bodies are made in winter.

What's Staying

  • Structured progressions across all classes
  • Continued focus on strength, conditioning, and movement quality
  • Progressive overload designed to drive improvement over the full block
  • A balance of strength, aerobic fitness, hypertrophy, and high intensity training

What's Coming Back

  • XTX
  • Strength Endurance
  • H.I.R.T

These member favourites return to the schedule and bring a fresh challenge to the next eight weeks.

What's Leaving

  • Shred
  • Power
  • CrewFit

As one block finishes, another begins, bringing new opportunities to learn, improve, and challenge yourself.

New Movements for the Block

Barbell Incline Press

A key upper body strength movement targeting the upper chest, shoulders, and pressing power.

Snatch Grip Deadlift

A new movement designed to challenge posterior chain strength, stability, mobility, and overall lifting mechanics.

Returning Favourite

Hack Squat

If you know, you know.

Block Focus

This block is not about being perfect.

It is about committing to the process, showing up consistently, and building momentum over the next eight weeks.

The biggest improvements often come from the simple things done repeatedly. One session becomes a week. One week becomes a month. One month becomes real progress.

Whether your goal is fat loss, fitness, strength, performance, or simply feeling better, the challenge remains the same:

Commit to 30. Show up. Stay consistent. Trust the process.

Cannot wait to get stuck into this block and see what the next 8 weeks bring.

Doing scans early

For those who have done their scans early, can we still have a cheat meal before challenge starts on Monday? I have events this weekend to attend which involves food 🫢😅 My studio said Saturday is the last day to do our scans & can’t do it on the first day of the challenge. Thanks in advance.
