Wodapalooza® is the fitness party of the year in 2016, and everyone is going.

The Miami Fitness Festival, now going on year five, has built itself into one of the biggest fitness competitions in the world. From humble beginnings, founders Steve Suarez and Guido Trinidad hosted a competition at Bayfront Park with 500 spectators and 125 athletes. This year the number will reach over 20,000 spectators and 1,500 athletes across 11 divisions, representing 16 countries! The beauty of Wodapalooza® is that the core values have remained the same: to celebrate fitness, community and life.

Over $200,000 worth of prize money will be handed out to athletes, which as you may have guessed, has attracted a slew of the most credentialed athletes in the sport of CrossFit . Defending champions Noah Ohlsen and Sam Briggs will be back to defend their individual titles, as will 2014 Reebok CrossFit Games Champion Camille Leblanc-Bazinet, who will be aiming for her first Wodapalooza® title. It is The Elite Team division, however, that may prove to be the big headliner of this year's event. CrossFit Mayhem’s Freedom Bros and Guido’s Angels highlight team competition.

Often dubbed by athletes as their favorite “offseason” event of the year, Wodapalooza® V looks to have surpassed the dubious distinction and has declared itself the hottest fitness festival of the year. If the CrossFit Games tests the Fittest on Earth, Wodapalooza® celebrates the joy of competition with a shot of South Florida bravado on the side.
