Where Earthly Limits Get Left Behind
A Chicago-based fitness organization composed of Personal Trainers, Athletic Coaches, and Endurance Athletes. Our unique blend of athletic knowledge and competition has been developed over 30 years, resulting in a cultural infusion of fitness and health.
A circuit-based fitness challenge that tests your overall fitness ability by harnessing power from four main components: Strength, Speed, Balance and Endurance.
The next Blackout Fit Challenge is Saturday, November 21, 2026. Check-in, warm-up and a walk of the layout all happen before the first station, so plan to arrive well ahead of the start.
The South Side of Chicago. Our challenges are held indoors, in competition venues built for high-performance athletic events, so the format runs the same way in November as it would in June. Full details for the next one are below.
As fitness race and competition enthusiasts, our founders realized there was a need for a space where athletes of color could build a sense of community through challenge and competition. While other fitness races offer community through sport, BOF understands the importance of building community through culture!
