WHAT IS DEKA ATLAS?

Spartan’s mission is to rip 100 million people off the couch.  Since 2020, Spartan DEKA has played a key role in this mission by providing low-barrier-of-entry start lines designed to celebrate fitness with ALL levels.  DEKA ATLAS is a bold new step up to a higher foundation of strength training and testing.  

DEKA ATLAS is a 10-zone fitness strength test designed for DEKA Affiliate locations to highlight humans who have a well-rounded strength base and strong work capacity, as well as creating an attainable goal for the world to train for.  

Strength training supports longevity and quality of life, and DEKA ATLAS gives people a challenging yet fully attainable fitness goal to work toward.
