About Spartan DEKA and DEKA Zones

DEKA events are functional fitness competitions Spartan produces each year. They are an indoor decathlon of functional fitness and training programs designed to be basic, simple, and utilitarian. 

Spartan DEKA is the decathlon of hybrid fitness racing, featuring standardized and gamified fitness tests, events, training, and competition designed to allow ALL (fitness) levels the opportunity to celebrate the power of fitness. With 1,000+ annual events worldwide, DEKA has opened the door for people of all walks of life to train, test, and thrive in a globally recognized sport.

There are 10 DEKA Zones. Every zone is based on rudimentary movements. Lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, kneeling, jumping/stepping/climbing over something, getting down on the ground and standing back up, and three basic forms of transportation – row, ski, & cycle. Think thousands of years ago when these movements were not called exercise, fitness, or training. It was survival. 

The zone sequence and flow are designed to start with basic movements throughout the early zones that when combined target the entire body and then finish with zones 6-10 with the last 5 requiring 100% full body focus for each zone.

Training with purpose before and in between each DEKA Mark test/event provides an opportunity for every level of fitness to improve in these 10 functional areas of movement. As DEKA Marks (time/score) improve, well-rounded fitness and health & wellness improve.

Initial DEKA testing provides a benchmark. Consistent training will improve your fitness level. Periodic testing will provide proof that the time you’ve invested in your training has improved your fitness. Keeping a DEKA re-test/event on the calendar helps to ensure training adherence. No matter what your current fitness level is, you are an athlete who trains with the purpose of becoming a stronger version of yourself every time you get a new DEKA mark.
