Fitstop Launches Global Games, a Multi-City Team Competition Debuting in Singapore

Pete Hull built Fitstop's reputation on in-studio community competition, and last week he took it global. The Australia-origin boutique functional-fitness franchise announced Fitstop Global Games, a multi-city team competition that will open its first stop in Singapore on April 18, 2026, with confirmed future stops in Los Angeles and Brisbane still to be dated.

The format centers on two-person teams, male/male, female/female, or mixed, competing across four workouts that each target a distinct physical domain: strength, conditioning, skill, and team synchronicity. Scoring is points-based, drawing from reps, weight, and time across all four events, which gives teams a cumulative picture of their output rather than a result hinging on a single modality.

Athletes register at one of two competitive tiers: All Star, aimed at everyday athletes, or Pro, for elite competitors. Registration is open to both Fitstop members and non-members, a deliberate design choice that positions the Global Games as a public-facing competitive product rather than a closed members-only circuit.

Hull, Fitstop's founder and CEO, framed the launch in terms of brand identity: "Global Games represents the evolution of our competitive culture." The announcement was accompanied by appearances on Channel 9 in Australia, a signal that Fitstop is treating the Global Games as a broadcast-worthy consumer product, not just an internal milestone.

For athletes in the functional-fitness space, the competition occupies a familiar but distinct position. The two-tier structure and team format give it a profile closer to HYROX than to the individual, qualifying-heavy structure of the CrossFit Games circuit. A four-workout points system that rewards output across multiple domains also tends to pull in a wider range of community participants than single-discipline formats.

Singapore gets the first event on April 18; Los Angeles and Brisbane are confirmed future stops with dates and ticketing details still pending. Registration and ticketing are available through Fitstop's official channels, with team entry fees in the mid-hundreds SGD/USD range based on earlier event iterations.

Fitstop joins a growing field of franchise and boutique brands building proprietary competition formats alongside CrossFit's sanctional ecosystem and the expanding arena-fitness circuit. How the Global Games scales beyond its inaugural three cities will come down to what Singapore delivers in three weeks.
