The UK's best gym challenge
More than 3,000 people took the Men’s Fitness FitBrit Challenge in 2009, and at the Grand Final in November last year some of the fittest people in the country came together to fight it out for the honour of being crowned FitBrit Champion.

This year FitBrit is back, bigger and better than ever. Once again Men’s Fitness and Fitness First have joined forces to produce the biggest gym challenge in the country. It's simply eight exercises done back-to-back against the clock and the fastest time wins.

Have a go
Anyone can take the Men's Fitness FitBrit Challenge. You can practise it whenever and wherever you want but you can only record an officially recognised time at a Fitness First gym. You don't have to be a Fitness First member to take the challenge, though - click here to find out how it works.

Changes for 2010
After feedback from readers and discussions with competitors at last year's final, we’ve changed a few of the exercises for 2010. We decided that some of the moves in the original challenge offered too many opportunities for foul play – it was possible to shave seconds off your time by not performing the exercises correctly.

The new FitBrit Challenge is just as demanding as before, but now it's more cheat-proof. This means that when you see your place on the leaderboard it will be a fair reflection of your fitness levels, and you’ll know you haven’t been pipped by someone who skimped on the exercises. Check out this step-by-step guide to the new challenge.
