What is DEKA?
DEKA is a 10-zone functional fitness challenge designed to test your overall engine.
Each zone targets a different aspect of strength, conditioning and grit, creating a simple yet highly effective benchmark for all fitness levels.
Accessible, engaging and community-driven - DEKA is the perfect way to challenge yourself and measure your progress!
