We've moved! If you didn't know, historically, we have been based in Cross in Hand, East Sussex. This is a HUGE jump for PIUPID and one we know will drive us moving forward in the way of providing you, the athletes, spectators, party goers, dance floor athletes and everyone in between, a real experience of what PIUPID is all about. This is our new venue: South of England Event Centre South of England Showground Selsfield Road Ardingly West Sussex RH17 6TL

8am - The day begins. With athletes competing until the finals (4:30pm) – we’ll keep you fed and hydrated with a fully stocked PIUPID Bar ‘The Barbell’, Local Street food vendors and fitness orientated activities to entertain you between heats! 6pm onwards - You’ll need an Evening ticket as our Live music will launch the evening into a party of post workout heroes and summer loving attendees! Athletes, your passes also grant you access to the Evening party.

The PIUPID Games takes another step forward this year, with athletes getting challenged with roughly 4-5 workouts throughout the day. You can expect the format of these workouts to be between 5-20 minutes long, and involving a mixture of functional movements including and not limited to; barbells, kettlebells, dumbbells, boxes, rowers, bikes etc. The games format typically gets released 2 weeks before the day.

In the PAIRS EVENT, athletes will compete in MIXED PAIRS. If you don't have a partner, we’ll pair you up! When booking your ticket, just let us know you'd like us to do this for you!

NO! In our efforts to maximise inclusivity, while challenging more experienced athletes, this year we ask competitors in the PAIRS and TEAMS event – if they would like to compete as; RX’d or SCALED athletes. This means EVERYONE from advanced to new – has the opportunity to experience and compete in the electric atmosphere of the PIUPID GAMES.

With the success of our Teams Event, 2025 also sees the return of the PIUPID TEAM event! Teams are mixed; two males and two females. You’ll have to complete two workouts as your team – with all workouts going towards your final score and earning you a spot in the final! Please select RX or Scaled when registering with ARETAS!

We have had tremendous feedback from athletes and attendees, and one of the areas we have built upon is in our judging standards. This year – we will be enrolling 50% of our judges through official Judging certifications to ensure that every lane, heat and athlete has a certified judge to maintain consistency and fairness.
