The World Fitness Project has slowly been releasing details about its inaugural 2025 season. From the number of events to athlete announcements to locations, the information has been dripping out over the past several months. But there are still quite a few details that have not yet been disclosed…until now.

The 40 Pro athletes recently received the 2025 Athlete Packet that welcomes them to the WFP and shares some information that has not yet been shared with potential Challenger athletes or the fans. The 10-page document outlines information from the list of potential movements that will be programmed this season to the points system to the prize purse for each event.

So I’m sure you’re curious…let’s get into it.

MOVEMENT LISTS

Two pages in the 2025 Athlete Packet list every movement that could be seen in the 2025 season. Details are limited, but it likely also applies to the Challenger Qualifiers in addition to the Tour Events and Final.

Looking through the movement list, there really isn’t anything “new” on the list. Everything included has been seen at some point, whether in the CrossFit Games season or other off-season competitions, with maybe one exception…Barbell Lateral Hops.

Welcome letter inside the 2025 Athlete Packet:

But it is worth noting that “Swimming in Pool” is listed and so are “Shuttle Runs”. For all you HYROX afficionados, Burpee Broad Jumps are on the list of possible movements.

However, what is not included might be more interesting. Things like triple-unders and crossover double-unders are not included. There is also a lack of strict gymnastics movements. Outside of strict handstand push-ups, strict pull-ups or strict ring muscle-ups are absent.

And of all the handstand push-up variations, ring handstand push-ups are no where to be found. Nor are there any V-Ups or push-ups (I guess Murph won’t be programmed).

Here is the full list of movements you will see in 2025 as an athlete…or a fan:

POINTS SYSTEM

The main concept of the WFP is that athletes will compete throughout the season in an effort to earn a “Pro” card for the next year. Athletes will accumulate points over the course of the three events. The top 20 men and top 20 women will earn their Pro card for the 2026 season.

At each event, there will be a Pro division and a Challenger division. Both divisions earn points, but all 30 athletes in the Pro division will earn more than 1st place in the Challenger division. So for those who are trying to qualify via the Challenger Online Qualifier, making into the Pro division is critical.

The 2025 Athlete Packet only outlines the Pro Point System. With that said, the Challenger Point System will begin somewhere below 270 points, likely at 250 or 200.

Here is the Pro Point System:

PRIZE PURSE

The prize purse for the two Tour Events is $380,000 split between the men’s and women’s Pro divisions. The WFP Final has a $766,000 total prize purse, also split between the men and women.

The total prize purse between all three in-person events is just over $1.5 million. The Athlete Packet does not mention if any other division, Challenger or one of the community divisions, will receive prize money.

It is also unclear how the prize purse will work with the Pro card athletes. While unconfirmed, it has been speculated that the money received when an athlete signed their contract goes toward their prize purse.

That is, if an athlete signed their Pro card contract for $20,000 and they won Tour Event 1, that athlete would only receive an additional $10,000 of the $30,000 first-place prize. Again, maybe that’s just a rumor and these payouts are on top of the contracts.

Regardless, here is the prize purse for this year’s events:

ATHLETE SAFETY

Joshua Hicks is the Medical & Safety Director of the WFP. You might know Hicks from the PFAA as he is the Event Emergency Activation and Medical Advisor. Hicks wrote a short note to the athletes regarding athlete safety while competing at the WFP:

WFP TEAM

A couple weeks ago it was announced that Saxon Panchik would no longer be competing in the WFP as an athlete and that he had taken a role within the organization. No further details were announced. At the end of the Athlete Packet, it lists Saxon’s title as “Head of Community Development”.

In total, the WFP lists 10 individuals who are working to bring the WFP to life…

Isabella Terry – Executive Director
Jackson Terry – Director of Operations
Will Moorad – Director of Sport
Ryan Husband – Director of Business Development
Maggie Husband – Director of Community Development
Saxon Panchik – Head of Community Initiatives
Jason Ansley – Director of Events
Heidi Ansley – Head of Event Logistics
Diana Quereto – Executive Director
Roger Nilsson – Event Director, Europe

Registration for the Challenger Online Qualifier for Tour Event 1 is currently open. You can register on Competition Corner for $25. The top athletes in the qualifier will advance to Tour Event 1 in Indianapolis, Indiana, on May 9-11.
